Dr was very patient and explained the X-rays, was concerned about my ongoing pain and prescribed an inflammatory that would reduce pain while we waited for next steps.

We had at least two options for how to deal with the issue. He was very explanatory of the pros and cons for them. And didn't try to push me to one or the other.
