Three (3) doctors and no measurements:

Since my surgery of Feb. 6th 2006 I have seen three (3) doctors [ Dr. R. K .; Dr. E. R.; Dr. L. Y.] and tho' my condition is known to cause atrophy ( " Sudek's Dystrophy "), not one of them has performed a measurement on my symptomatic right lower extremity.
With as little science that Medicine has, you would imagine that, like a carpenter, for instance, they would attempt to measure up to a trade.
For the record on 5/9/2006:

Left Right
6" above the knee A/K 16.4" 15.75"
6" below the knee B/K 13.5" 13.25"

This of course is evidence of beginning atrophy of my RLE, not that the doctors will ever know or care.
They don't even rise to the level of tradesmen!.
