I have been to my first PT session. The p. therapist is a good person. It was uplifting just to be around her. I've always felt that is one of the toughest jobs in healthcare.

She had my MRI up on the screen for me to look at with her. I was reassured by the things that look good that she pointed out. Also, she seemed to really understand the things that are not so good - mainly arthritis and some loss of disc space. Also, a smaller foramen on the left.

My doctor told me to take Naproxen daily. I did not even mention the Vicodin. At least, I feel I have someone knowledgeable to answer my questions - the P. therapist. The doctors just don't want to take the time.
