When a Second Opinion Should Be Your First Priority

Your arthritis has worsened, and its time to consider more serious treatments. For years, youve seen the same physician for your routine arthritis-related complaints. Youve placed your confidence in your doctor, and you feel secure about his or her recommendations. On the flip side, perhaps you harbor doubts about your physicians judgment. In either case, youd be wise to seek out another practitioner and obtain a second opinion about your diagnosis and treatment.
