Reference Shelf

A tighter set of patient resources.

Instead of a long list, this page keeps only a small number of useful references: one video, a short reading shelf, and a checklist for clinic visits.

Three things on this page

One video, four links, one checklist.

Clinic Visit

Bring these details with you

Symptoms

  • • When the pain started and how it has changed
  • • What makes it worse or better
  • • How sleep and walking are affected
  • • Any stiffness, swelling, or clicking

Context

  • • A list of all medications and supplements
  • • Known allergies and past surgeries
  • • Prior X-ray or MRI reports
  • • Family history of joint problems

Questions

  • • What are my treatment options?
  • • Do I need imaging now or later?
  • • Should I see a physiotherapist?
  • • What activities should I avoid?
A one-page symptom log — when pain appears, what you were doing, and what helped — is often more useful than trying to remember everything during a 10-minute consultation.
