Jumping Through Passion & Pain: Amanda’s Choice

What would you do if an activity that gives you an incredible amount of joy is also the root cause of your serious injury? How do you explain to your surgeon that you really, REALLY want to get back in the ring and you want him to support you through it? This is the challenge that today's guest was able to navigate. Amanda's story begins with debilitating pain and ends with how she is balancing her health and her passion.
Key Takeaway: Be clear about your priorities
- Select a doctor who is on your team: highly experienced but also be able to hear you and respects your priorities.
- Get a second opinion if your symptoms are getting progressively worse or if your doctor's level of urgency doesn't match yours or if you simply aren't connecting with your physician.
- Be accountable to your part of the treatment plan. Recovery is a shared responsibility between a patient and their providers.

Really enjoyed this podcast and Amanda’s story was so powerful. So often we hear about people who are scared to get a 2nd opinion or think they will offend someone. Such great reminders about advocating for ourselves and working with the provider once a care plan is established. Well done!
