Last time I talked to the ortho-dude about this, he said if it recurred again, I'd have to go in for an MRI. Means, I'm going to have to go set up an appointment with him, so he can authorize it, I have to yak with the insurance company about it, see if I need to change meds: the anti-inflammatories have usually done little, if anything to knock out the pain. I'd rather not do the heavy narcotics if I can avoid them. The previous two episodes of this crap have used up all the physical therapy sessions my insruance company will allow me for the year. I think I"m rambling. Am I rambling?
