Getting Help With My Leg

After struggling as a child with an unknown illness, I realized that I was walking with a limp. It was really discouraging to know that everything I did there on out would be a little bit different, so I started thinking more seriously about making things right with the help of an orthopedist. I met with the doctor and we talked about my condition, and it was really interesting to gain some insight. Within a few short months I was on the road to recovery, and I knew that I owed my healing to the doctor. This blog is all about getting help from an orthopedist.
