Conversation 273 (Listen and Read)

Alright, Mr. Johnson, what's going on with your knee?

It's been giving me a lot of trouble, especially at work.

I'm on my feet most of the day at the warehouse, lifting and moving heavy boxes.

I think all that repetitive lifting is what's causing the pain and swelling in my knee.

By the end of my shift, it gets really stiff and sore.

Got it.

I'll prescribe some anti-inflammatory meds to help with that.

You should also talk to your boss to see if there's a way to adjust your tasks,

maybe alternate with lighter duties, or build in some breaks.

That way, you can ease up on the strain and prevent aggravating it further.
