Kat gave you some great ideas. Keep a pain and stiffness log from now until you see him. Try to get copies of all your prior x-rays and resent blood tests and get them to him/her before you go into your appointment.

Good luck.

Cherish your yesterdays,
Dream your tomorrows,
But live your todays.
Do the very best you can
leave the rest to God.
God Bless,
