Ashley carefully and clearly explained the results of the x-rays. She then manipulated rather vigorously the upper and lower right leg (the right knee is the one injured) to better determine the cause of the pain. There was no pail at all. From this she felt very confident there was no ligament tissue damage. She then suggested an injection of a pain killer and a wait and see approach, which I happily agreed to. Much better after even 2 days.

My knee was causing severe pain. X-rays were taken but I never received the results of what they showed. But evidently, Ashley did. I was given a cortisone shot, which was a LOT less painful than I thought it would be. She also prescribed an anti inflammatory medication. Both treatments have worked wonderfully. She was the answer to my prayers for pain relief.
