One quick note, then go ahead and send me your email question or comment. I find it of interest to know what city you are writing me from and your age. My answers are not long due to the volume of email, but they are succinct and generally address what I consider the most important issue to be thinking about next. I don't make recommendations of surgeons in your city or country, and I can not guarantee confidentiality. I don't answer emails from people who haven't seen orthopedic doctors and are just looking for medical evaluation over the internet. I've also have to be honest and tell you that I'm at a point where I respond to only about 1/2 of emails.
