Hi, doctor.
I came today because I need a flu shot and to get a checkup.
Okay. Have you had a flu shot in the past year?
No, not in the last few years. My knee hurts as well. I have been running a lot more and think it is injured.
When did the pain start and does it still hurt now?
About 2 weeks ago and yes, it still hurts.
I suggest you ice it and I will prescribe you some pain medication.
Thank you, Doctor!
