Does this mean i have to make a follow-up appointment?

Question

Currently I'm having problems with my knees & on bedrest for 2 weeks and going to physical therapy. But anyway, on the summary paper it says....

"come back if your symptoms are worse or not improving, OR IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS (8/20/08)"

I'm not sure if this means to make a follow-up appointment.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Its means they want to see you in two weeks for a follow up appointment. But, if you feel worse between now and then, then make an appointment sooner.  

Answer 2

Yes you should make another appointment :)

Answer 3

It means exactly what it says... if you don't feel like you are getting better before a couple weeks go by or if you feel worse book an appointment to go in.

If all is good book another appointment for two weeks time to follow up.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

im not exactly sure what this has to do with the catergory its in but it means come back in two weeks but if you dont improve come back earlier

so yes another appointment

Answer 6

I would make a follow up to make sure you knee's have heeled all the way are you could do more harm then good.

Answer 7

someimes they want more time  

Answer 8

I'm hoping I can help you here since I've been through this exact same thing twice before with physical therapy and all.  If you are still in pain and nothing at all has improved and it's been two weeks, then you NEED to go back.  The doctors always have a reason for things.  So definatly go back if your knees haven't gotton better! :)

Answer 9

Yes, in two weeks or sooner for those reasons (pain or even lack of progressive healing).

Gosh, best wishes.

Answer 10

yes. make a follow up appointment.

Answer 11

it means to make a appointment for about 2 weeks after the day you went you can do it right after your appointment at the front desk or call when you get home hope this helps

Answer 12

It sounds like you should make a follow up appointment, but go in SOONER if your symptoms get worse or don't get better.  Good luck!!

Answer 13

call, it only takes a few minutes

Answer 14

if you get worse go back.

either way you should go and see them again on the 20th.

Answer 15

make the appointment now so if you are not better by the 20th you will not have to wait a long time for a follow-up appointment. You can always cancel on the 18th or 19th if you are suddenly feeling better. Good luck.
