(00:00):
Mix one oh six five. Goodmorning, It's Christina Woolford. I've got
doctor Richard ville Real in the studiowith me today. It is time for
Lady Parts with doctor Villarreal of AdenaWomen's Health. Good morning, doctor Villareal,
Good morning. How are you today? I'm doing great? How are
you doing well? Thank you?All right. As always, we've got
a special guest with us today,So tell us who we've gotten. What
we're talking about today. We doand it's exciting. We have doctor Thomas

(00:23):
Kellum who's with us today. Heis with the Adena Orthopedic Group with at
the Adena Orthopedic and Spine Institute.He is a fellowship trained family practice who
does sports medicine. That's right,right, yeah, absolutely. So I've
learned that you went to medical schoolat the University of South Carolina and Greenfield.

(00:46):
You did your family medicine residency atwake Forest, and then did your
spell your fellowship at the University ofSouth Carolina. Yeah, so I think
that's great. So you do allkinds of medicine as far as a little
bit of everything, but you likesport. But then I also heard that
you do a little bit more thanjust sports injuries and yeah. Yeah,
So it's one of those fields whereyou know, our our specialty is is

(01:08):
labeled sports medicine. But we certainlywe're not just taking care of athletes.
I mean, that's certainly a partof it. Um. But we see
you know, folks that are youknow, in grade school. We see
folks you know, you know,older in life that are dealing with just
you know, things like arthritis.UM. So we see a wide variety
of conditions and treat both athletes andnon athletes. Ultimately, we're trying to

(01:33):
keep people active, right, Sothat's the goal for everybody. Yeah.
Yeah, So as far as youknow, you get into my age groups,
I'm just a little bit older thanyou, and so you want to
start staying active and um, wewant to be able to get out and
do things. So you know,you know, in my practice, I
have a lot of ladies that aremy age or more and they try to
get out and do more and theykind of get hurt and they you know,
with their hips or they pull thingsand we send them over to you

(01:56):
all the time, and I've hadgreat results. The women speak very highly
of you guys, UM. ButI think it's wonderful that you're here and
your group is wonderful people. I'vemet a lot of the physicians. Yeah,
it's it's very neat. We havea lot of you know, providers
with different specialties, different different backgroundsUM and a lot of expertise, right

(02:16):
and so you know, being inprimary care, UM, you know,
doing the sports medicine, we seeagain folks kind of all different UM age
ranges and different conditions. But ifthere's a problem that needs a specific you
know, specialty, whether that's ayou know, a spine surgeon, UM,
you know, somebody who UM takescare of of hand and upper extremity

(02:38):
issues. We have those UM,you know specialists, you know, our
partners that we can you know,refer to and get them the care that
they need. That's awesome. AndI heard most of you guys have same
day appointments. Yes, so that'sthat's one thing, you know, because
you never know when an injury isgoing to happen, right, UM.
And and so we certainly have accessum, you know, same day or

(02:59):
next day right availability where we canget you in. You know, we
have X ray on site where wecan get X rays if we need to
UM, and we can you knowdiagnose and take care of the problem.
That's awesome. Well, that's goodto know because you know, you worry,
you know when you have injuries.You know, can I get in?
Is it? Do you have towait a week? Do I have
to wait a month? And toknow that you can get right in is

(03:19):
great? UM to get into youguys, Do we have to get referrals
or can we just call typically?UM? We do not need referrals.
UM. You can certainly just callUM. There is some you know,
kind of dependence on insurance, butgenerally speaking, you don't have to have
a referral. So you know,certainly, UM call us UM and we'd
happy to get you in and likeI said, assess and take care of

(03:40):
the problem. That's perfect. Now, how many of you guys are the
sports medicine there's UM, we're spreadout through throughout you know, Chilla Coffee.
We have three providers that are basedUM at our main you know,
main campus there, and then wehave providers kind of in the surrounding communities,
you know. So Jackson, UM, I myself, I'm down in
Waverley Monday through Friday. We havesomebody over in the Washington Courthouse region Fayette,

(04:05):
so we're very well spread out,you know, throughout Chilic Coffee in
the surrounding community. So definitely accessnot only just the availability of same day,
next day, but location too,which is ultimately, you know,
very important for patients. That's wonderful. We were talking earlier and doctor Kellnel's
based down in Pike County and whichis a great community because when I first

(04:28):
started practicing, I was telling himthat I had an office down there and
the people are so kind and sonice, and he was mentioning that also.
And so you say, you're downthere five days a week, five
days a week, Monday through Friday. And again we have X ray on
site, so you know, ifit's something that we think that needs an
X ray to make sure nothing's broken, we can certainly get X ray that
day. I can you know,take a look at it. If it's

(04:51):
something that needs treated, you know, that day we can do it.
And again I have the my partnerswho you know, have multiple different kind
of backgrounds and specialties that if Ineed to get you in you know,
with them in the near future,we can certainly arrange that. So that's
wonderful. So what do you liketo take care of You have any favorites.

(05:11):
I like to keep people active becauseI think it's so important that,
um, you know, not justthe you know, I do like taking
care of athletes because that's a specialkind of of patient population. But what's
most important to me is is,you know, if a patient comes to
me and says, you know,I just want to be able to to
go out and do yardwork. Right. Um, I really enjoy being able

(05:33):
to take care of patients and treatand again a lot of times it's arthritis
that's slowing us down, right,um, And I really enjoy keeping people
active and doing the things that theywan't too and need to do. That's
wonderful, Okay, I love that. Well, you know, the one
thing I've noticed about you guys,and not just you but the whole group,
Well, I like you know,particularly you, because you live in

(05:55):
town, so you're you're here,you moved here, your families here,
and I hear you know, youhave three children, three kids, and
I think it's wonderful that you andyour wife are both here and you get
to know the community and they getto know you. Yeah, so I
think that's really important. You know, just a you know, you don't
want just a health system that youknow, you're just seeing patience. UM,
and that's it. I think beinga part of the community is is

(06:18):
a lot more meaningful. And we'veloved you know, we've been here a
little over a year and a halfnow, um, but yeah, you
know both you know here in theChilicothee area and down in Pike County.
Um, we've had great experience,met a lot of wonderful people and and
we love it. It's very warm, welcoming community and um, I'm we're
very you know, happy to bea part of it. That's wonderful.

(06:41):
And I hear your kids have startedin school and yeah, kids kids are
a kiddo in in kindergarten and thenone in first grade. Um, you
know, it's it's starting to warmup. So they're getting into some spring
sports now, you know, baseball. Um, and they love it too.
You know that lot lots of thingsto do. Um. You know,
on the weekends, we like togo down downtown Chilclothy and just kind

(07:03):
of walk around. Typically there's youknow, things going on and then you
know, certainly you know, beinginvolved. You know, down in Pike
County, there's you know obviously alot of um, you know, activities
down there as well. UM.I like to play basketball, go to
the y down there. UM.So I've met again some great people m
and made some good you know friendshipsalong the way. Oh that's wonderful.

(07:26):
So the nice thing I've about yourgroup is you guys are really involved in
the community. So I mean,not only do you just live here,
but you're involved. And what Iwant to talk a little bit about the
day are some of the things thatyou're going to be doing. Let's talk
about some of these events. Sowe'll start with the Buck fifty. So
I think that's coming up. Yeah, so a lot of fun things coming
up. Um again kind of goingalong with you know, some of the

(07:48):
warm weather UM hopefully headed our way. But yeah, first up is the
Buck fifty, which is m Apriltwenty first and twenty second. UM.
So it's it's a one hundred andfifty one hundred and fifty mile relay race.
UM. So sounds very daunting,UM, but it's it's it's uh,
you know, split up with teamsof either a five person or ten

(08:09):
person team. UM. And itliterally it's a two day race. UM.
And it starts Friday kind of earlyafternoon and it runs through the night,
UM and and finishes up on onSaturday, UM afternoon and so UM
it's one of those things that it'ssuch a massive event. It takes a

(08:30):
ton of you know, coordination toto prepare for that. UM. And
they've done a great job, youknow this year. UM. You know
they've raised a lot of money UMthat go back into the community, right
and I heard a lot of itgoes back into fight drugs, correct yep.
And so they support what eight localhigh schools, the chapters for Drug
Force, the Clubs of America.So I just think that's fantastic. And

(08:52):
so but the Orthopedic Group, youguys were all involved in this and are
one of the sponsors. Yep.Yeah. So again, some of some
of the things you don't really realizeor think about, UM, you know
that happened behind the scenes. Butwhen when you have an event like this,
UM, a lot goes into planningand so UM Dave Huggins is the
race director and so in kind ofcoordination with with our UM you know team

(09:18):
leader UM, doctor Herts, theydo a lot of planning from the medical
standpoint, you know, if somethinghappens, being prepared to to you know,
take care of that situation. Andso again they do a great job.
They have it all mapped out.We have you know, stations along
the way where you know, ifif someone's injured, um, whether it's
on the trail, um, youknow, we can kind of take care

(09:39):
of that, you know, firstaid, you know, kind of your
basic you know, cuts and scrapes, um. A couple of ankle sprains
last year, right running running inthe dark. You know, with some
trails, it can get tricky outthere, but we're able to kind of,
um, you know, assess thatthat's awesome. That's awesome. Well
good. Have you ever running itor anything like this? No, No,

(10:01):
I'm not what you call a runnernecessarily. It's like I'm not one
either. I'd rather be taking careof folks than um, actually running.
But it's it is. I've neverbeen a part of any kind of race
like that where you're I mean literallylast year I was I covered um,
the overnight shift or part of it. So I was out there at you
know, three am, and yousee vans pulling up and the whole team

(10:26):
gets out and they kind of supporttheir you know, their team member that's
coming in for the next check point. That's fun. I'm going to take
off into the dark. We didthe same thing last year. We went
and followed because one of my boysran last year, so we followed him
in the group. Yeah. Yeah, we watched him run and we're out
there blowing horns and stuff when he'srunning. And then you know when they
comes to their part of the finishline, you know, the whole group

(10:46):
is there and it's all exciting.Their chairing the one. Yeah, it's
really exciting. So I do encourageeverybody to go out and see this and
help them. And I mean it'sa great, great event and it's a
wonderful charity. I think that whatthey do with the money is great for
a drug free America for these kids, I think is fabulous. Yeah,
this year, the new thing thatwe're going to do this year that we've

(11:07):
kind of planned on is is he'susing a GPS tracking device. I'm not
sure if you've heard about it,but a GPS tracking device where we give
each team kind of a belt thatthey can you know, hand off as
they go on, and there's youcan even have a kind of an app
and pull it up on your phoneand you can see and where you're going
and live time, where your teamis where if you're family cheering on from

(11:31):
home, you can you know,check in and see where they're at.
But from a medical standpoint, itobviously helps us identify if somebody's you know,
hurt and we need to go inthere and get there, you know,
quickly. I think there's also kindof an emergency notification feature where they
can press so somebody can find you. Yeah, exactly. That's wonderful.
Wow technology. Yeah, it's agreat thing. Oh my gosh. So

(11:56):
okay, so that's one of theevents that you guys are doing. So
the next one coming up in Juneis the Chillicothee Half Marathon. Yes,
yes, and so so yeah,we're really excited this year. Um,
the second year. You know,we're you know, very eager. There's
a lot of enthusiasm about the growthof this of this event. But um,
yeah, it's a it's a halfmarathon. Um, but there's also

(12:18):
an option to do just a fivek, which is more kind of a
run or walk, um, youknow, depending on your age. I
wouldn't say that, I would saythat, I would say enthusiasm for running.
That's how i'd put it. Soyeah, that's uh Sunday, June
fourth, um. And and that'sanother great cause, United Way of Ross

(12:39):
County is what the fundraising goes tofor that. And that one was fun
because it begins downtown, right andit it begins and um ends downtown and
so um it's it's one of thosethat again, you know, it's not
only a good event racing in itself, but it really brings out a lot

(13:00):
um you know about the community andwhat we have here. And there's so
much you know about this community thatpeople don't know. And I think it's
wonderful that we're doing these events andI think it's great that you guys are
part of this. So I thinkit's fabulous. And then the third event
that we want to talk a littlebit about is the Sand of the Streets,
which is exciting because I went downlast year and it was so much

(13:20):
fun. Absolutely yeah. So um, you know, we were fortunate last
year to to not only cover butbe able to participate and actually have a
team. Um And essentially, uh, you know, this is an event
where if you haven't seen it,you know, it's impressive just to go
by and and just look at youknow, the sites. It's um a

(13:41):
lot of sand that they bring inand cover the street, and I mean
you walk on the sand and youfeel like you're at the beach. You
know, it's not just a littlea thin layer of sand covering n asphalt.
It's it really is impressive how theythey you planned for and do that.
But yeah, it's essentially, youknow, a a volleyball tournament.
You know, throughout the day there'sdifferent divisions. So if you're not you

(14:05):
know, a professional volleyball player,then there's a recreational division that you can
certainly go out and have a blast, you know, participating. And so
again it's it's you know, Ilove it. It's it's something that again
even if you're not participating in theevent, it's a it's a very good,
I think community event, um,you know to kind of engage and

(14:26):
go out and have a good time. Yeah. I think we went down
last year and I saw so manypeople and you know, there's all kinds
of people on the street selling things. They had great mugs last year for
the event, and I bought oneof their mugs. But you can buy
a t shirts, you can buyall kinds of things down there. All
the shops are open. It's infront of fifty West in the courthouse,

(14:48):
So I mean you can go in. There's drinks, there's pop whatever you
want, and it's so nice andyou know, there's places for you to
sit and you can just sit andyou can pick whichever group you want to
watch. And then you guys havea big tent there in case anybody gets
in. We do. Yeah.So so just like with the racing events,
you know, we are our goalis to provide medical you know,
care to folks that you know,in the event that they needed UM.

(15:11):
And you know it certainly it doeshappen, and you know it's very easy,
you know, jumping up and diving. You know, you can sprain
your wrist, you can kind ofsprain your your knee. And again we
have a tent you know that that'sgoing to be set up there that we
can um, you know, takecare of folks in the event that they
need it. So that's great.So I think the wonderful thing that is

(15:31):
we have these events, you know, and the nice thing is that you're
out there in the community, andI do encourage the people you know out
there that go to these events togo meet you guys. You know,
I think that's the easiest way tomeet your physicians or your your healthcare providers.
I mean, if they're out there, go don't be intimidate, go
up and talk to them, right, you know. I love when people
come talk to me and and Ithink especially for these new physicians, to

(15:54):
get to know them, to getto know their personalities and say, you
know what, he's a nice guy, and I think you'd be great.
And yeah, and just meeting you, you're you're you're great, You're wonderful,
and I think you'd be you know, fabulous to have as a physician.
So not that I plan on gettinghurted, yeah, right, yeah,
I don't want that, but Ithink it's it's awesome and I do
hope that people do come meet you. Yeah. Absolutely. You know it's

(16:15):
great to see you know, patientsthat that I've seen in clinic, you
know, take care of and seethem, you know, somewhere outside the
clinic setting, right just to youknow, you know, get to know
them and say hey, and um. But we love meeting new folks as
well. So you know, ifif you're not a patient with us and
you want to come up and youknow, get more information. Please come
see us, um say hey,and we'd love to chat. You know,

(16:37):
I think maybe people don't even thinkabout Adina doing this. I mean,
I know Adina is involved in somuch in the community always, but
you know, to actually have physiciansnurses out here at those activities, I
mean that's a huge deal. Andand I'm sure doctor Villarroe you said a
lot of teenagers are in the Buckfifty and I'm sure that's really reassuring for
parents and stuff, because some ofthat is you know, out in the

(16:59):
county and everything, and you couldbe a little scary there's my little boys
out there by himself, you know, Well, no, they're this new
technology, this GPS tracking on them. And then if something does happen,
they can come stop by and seeone of you guys at the tent.
So that's awful reassuring too, absolutely, And again that goes directly back to
just the planning that that takes placeup front, you know, months in
advance of making sure that we havethe personnel, um you know, from

(17:22):
from a medical standpoint, but froma you know, racing coordination standpoint,
that they have the folks that weneed in place to be able to do
that, so credit goes back tothem. Well, let speaks highly of
you guys that are willing to dothat in Adenas you know, just jumping
in. Of course, we're gonnaput a tent up. We've got all
these people out here, so andyou know, you guys are working a
full schedule that week, but thenyou're also you know, volunteering to come

(17:45):
out and help with that. SoI think that's great that that are our
local physicians and nurses and techs andall are willing to help from Adena.
So we appreciate that too, sowell, thank you for that. But
yeah, it is and it's encouragingthat we see that. And I really
think that a lot of times ofcommunity for gets or they don't realize,
you know, that on top ofdoing their full schedules, they do come
and they give their time and theydo it for the community. And so

(18:10):
I think, you know, alot of thanks goes to them for doing
this and we just don't realize whenyou have such a good thing exactly.
So yeah, so I'm really happyto see this. So you said that
you participate, I want to goback. Is it now we've got somebody
who participated in the sand volume.Yeah, so what was it like?
Um, it was fun, allright, I'll put it that way.

(18:32):
It was. We did not wina match unfortunately, but we had a
great time playing and that's what that'swhat counts, right. Yeah, it's
almost like that. And then thekids afterwards had fun in the sand.
Oh yeah. Yeah. So youknow, again, even after the volleyball
is over, and I would encourageyou to go to watch some of the
you know, um more competitive division, the championship game. It's it's impressive

(18:57):
to see the talent that comes fromaround. Yeah, they are good because
now come down from different places.Yes, exactly. So I would encourage
you just go watch just because it'sit is. It is very neat to
see um, you know, upclose in person. But yeah, after
that's over. I mean last yearthey had a band, you know playing
music, um, right there onthe steps of the courthouse and then there's

(19:19):
sand. There's chairs, you know, kind of beach chairs you can kind
of sit and just relax and soakup the sun. And um again the
kids were playing, you know,running around. They saw some school friends
that that you know that they know, um and uh everybody was having a
great time. So yeah, Iwould encourage folks to come out even if
you're not participating. But um,yeah, it's it's to be determined if

(19:41):
I'm going to, um, youknow, go get back out there and
try to be fun. We'll lookfor you though, But it's nice this
way. It's a free event.You can get in there. Um go
watch this thing, Go have agood time and see what's happening. But
I'm sure it's really cool to seeit set up and tear down to because
by Monday, every grain of sandis gone and you would have never known,

(20:03):
you know, if you go downthere and people are like, yeah,
just a few hours ago there's youknow, six inches of sand,
you'd never believe them, right,because it's just amazing how they do this.
But the other thing, as faras everything else going on, I
said, there's so much going onthat you can go see. So whether
you go to see the five k, you go see the buck fifty,
you know, the half marathon,any of those events, they're all out
there and it's fun to watch andfund to cheer people on. So I

(20:27):
do encourage people to go downtown watchthese things and have a great time with
it. So, but I wantto get back a little bit to you.
I mean, we talked about howyou guys are out there. These
are your new providers for orthopedic sportsmedicine. They are out there. They
are fabulous. My wife is aprimary care physician and she says, you

(20:48):
guys are great. She sends alot of her patients over has been very
pleased as out of the patients andthe ones that I've sent over are just
very happy. So we're very happy. We're lucky to have all you guys
here, but we're it's just nice. Okay, that's the easiest way to
put it. It's just nice.It's nice to have people that want to
work, want to be here,want to be a part of the community.

(21:11):
And we can't say thank you enough. And that building out there is
beautiful. I have a little bitof experience to My husband's aunt has ostio
authorritists, but she had some issuesif she's got some back fractures, and
she's been out there a couple timesto the orthoped Against Fine Institute and that
building is just amazing, and someof the nurses were like, yeah,
you're gonna go with so and so. Now she gets to work in the

(21:32):
new building, you know, andthey're all jealous because it is such a
nice facility and it's it's a differencefrom where she was at the hospital coming
through the er, you know.Then she gets sent to the Orthopedic and
Spine Institute, and she's done thistwice now, and I was like,
good. I was telling her.I was like, you get to go
over to the really nice building,you know, and it's just really well
done over there, and everybody isreally attentive, and and like you said,

(21:55):
even the appointments. So I takeher to the appointments there. They
were the first appointment we had.They said, well, we'll have to
take her to x ray. AndI was like, oh, well,
I'm gonna be here for a while, you know, should I go out
to the waiting room theater back inten minutes, because like you said,
x rayvers right there. And soit's so nice to have all that centered
in one beautiful new facility that isjust state of the art, just absolutely
state of the art, and suchnice things. And like you said,
doctor Villarella, on some of theseevents, we sometimes we take things for

(22:18):
granted, and sometimes we take adenafor granted. There is so much there.
It wasn't that long ago that youknow, a lot of people thought,
well I got to drive to Cincinnatior Columbus to get you know that
we don't have that type of things. We have so much here and even
the outreach into the communities like isthat Greenfield and Jackson. It's just amazing
that you that Adina has brought allof this to us here in rural Ohio
and sometimes we take that for granted, but it's a great facility. So

(22:41):
yeah, we're lucky to have it, you know I did. I walked
in and it's like, well,you know, you're walking into fantasy Island.
I'm just like, it is absolutelygorgeous. If you haven't had a
chance to go see it, youshould go see it. So I hope
everybody goes out there and has achance to experience it. Not that I
want anybody to break their leg orsomething, right, but it is the
place to go. It is theplace to go. So we encourage you

(23:03):
to seek out these physicians because theyare fabulous. Now. The one thing
that you I saw your new campaign, which I thought was awesome, and
it said something like, you know, we do what we love so you
can do what you love. Ithink it's right, yeah, And which
is it's neat because you know,you know, just speaking to you and
listening to you here on the radio, I mean, this is what you
like, you enjoy that you lovethis, And so the whole goal is

(23:26):
to keep these people doing what theylove. So if they run or they
want to, you know, goout, like you said, just do
their garden or do their yard.You know, I think it's wonderful.
Yeah. So I mean it goesback to you know, why I chose
this profession in the first place,is just because it I just love that
thought of being able to take careof someone and keep them active, because

(23:49):
I just I think it's so importantand we take that for granted, just
the ability to do those day today things, whether that's things around the
house or you know, hobbies,and even if it's something simple, it's
still important to folks. And youknow, along the way, somewhere along
the way, you might get injured, or you might develop some arthritis that
limits that and and just being ableto help folks stay active is so rewarding.

(24:15):
And that's definitely one of the mosth you know, positive things things
I love most about my job,so it's it's a great field to be
in. But yeah, you're right. I mean at the end of the
day that the team based approach thatwe have. I think at Adina,
you know, the the clinical staffthat I work with on a data basis,
we all have the same goal andit's to take care of the patient,

(24:36):
you know, address their concerns,help them understand their health so that
they're able to make decisions. AndI think, you know, patients appreciate
it, Patients do better, theyhave better outcomes, and again, I
think it goes back to that teambased approach that we all have. Perfect.
So what I want to do withsome of these last few minutes,
so I want to talk about justa few things. I want to give
the people out there, just afew tidbits on some things that they can

(24:59):
do. We're getting into the spring, they're getting out there, like we
said, all these sporting events arecoming out. People are getting into the
yards, they're getting down to planningflowers, mowing the yards. What can
people do to try to prevent youfrom getting hurt? Yeah, i'd say,
um from a let's take running,because that's kind of a separate discussion,

(25:19):
right, Running is a little bitunique in the sense that when you're
talking about something like a relay racethat goes on for two days or a
half marathon, a lot of planninggoes into that. As a runner,
right, you don't want to justyou know, like in school and we
you know, just studied for thetest the night before. You don't want
to do that when you're you know, planning for something like a half marathon,

(25:42):
really plan ahead, think about atraining regimen that will allow you to
ramp up, because if you dotoo much too quickly, you're setting yourself
up for you know, something likea tendonitis where you know, you get
inflammation around your you know, themuscle and tendons that help you run UM

(26:03):
or even even things like stress fractures. So you really got to take your
time, plan ahead, UM andthat goes a long way when it's other
things, you know, simple thingsabout you know, being outside UM.
Obviously, if you notice something that'sthat's new or different, you know,
talk to your your doctor, talkto your family doctor, talk to your
primary care provider. UM. Youknow, we'd be happy to see you.

(26:23):
UM. Again. A lot ofit goes into catching things early before
they UM. You know, getworse, and so we can identify things
and help prevent those problems from fromhappening. So what about when you get
up in my age group a littlebit older than me, you know that
they're starting to get out. Youwant to keep active, you want to
do things. How do you whatkind of tips would you give them?

(26:47):
Yeah, I would say in general, Um, you know, warm up
is good, right, So don'tdon't just go from you know, sitting
around to getting up and running oryou know, even if it's you know,
doing things around the house, tryto warm up a little bit.
Make sure you stay hydrated, especiallywhen we get to the hotter months of
the year. Um. Those areimportant things that some people you know don't
always you know, think about orkind of forget to do. Um.

(27:11):
You know, staying hydrated is issomething that's very important. UM. And
then you know, again, ifyou notice something that's that's new or different,
that's um, you know you haven'texperienced before, whether it's knee pain,
shoulder pain. Um, you knowyou want to kind of modify how
you do things. You know,if there's something activity that aggravates it,
back off for a few days.UM. Certainly the common sense things like

(27:34):
heat ice UM, you know,taylan al um, anti inflammatories UM are
are good options. But ultimately,if if you can't you know, control
those symptoms within a couple of daysand it's bothering you, then UM,
you know, certainly talking with youryou know, primary care provider UM or
you know, getting again an appointmentwith us to to discuss that is is

(27:56):
a good option. That's great.I know we're getting into those months and
so we're gonna get out there andwe're gonna start doing the yard and do
this stuff. And this year Isaid my kids, we're gonna I'm gonna
let them do the mulch. Thosebags are heavy, yeah, and I'm
like, I'm not doing it.It's no joke. So what I do?
I thank you so much for comingjust if you know, if you

(28:19):
can't tell anything rate, I mean, he's such a nice person. And
so I do encourage you. Ifyou need to see sports medicine, if
you do have an injury, justnot feeling right, please get into him.
He's down in Pike County at theAdena Building. Doctor Thomas Kellum,
MD. The whole orthopedic group wonderfulpeople. So I do encourage you to

of the people out at these events. Absolutely, Like I said, you
