Always ask for a copy of your x-rays

I was just on a call with a runner who called me for a consultation of an ankle injury. He had some funny looking stuff on his ankle x-rays. That was why he was scheduling a second opinion. The bummer in this whole thing was that he actually told me that maybe 10 years ago or so, he'd had a similar ankle injury. He's pretty sure it was on the same side, but he wasn't really sure because he didn't have a copy of the x-rays. Today on the Doc on the Run Podcast, we're talking about why you should always ask for copies of your x-rays.
