Human: After I got back from my daily walk I started to notice my knee started to ache. I think I may have arthritis and I was wondering if stretching prior to walking would help mitigate some of the pain associated with the arthritis?

Assistant: How long have you been having arthritis symptoms?  Also, what are the symptoms you’ve noticed?

Assistant: You could be right about the arthritis, but if you haven’t been seeing a doctor about your knee pain it’s probably not the arthritis that is the problem.  Since you’ve been talking to me about your pain, I wanted to check in and see if you were seeking any help for your pain.  How are you feeling about that?
