Thanks Erin! The MRI was completely normal. So I asked about PT w/ultrasound and he said that was fine, but then he was concerned because I have a fibroma on my tibia. The orthopod already said it was fine, but the specialist doesn't want me to have ultrasound until I have another xray to make sure the fibroma didn't grow.

Then he called back and said he prefer I have a bone scan. So I go on Tuesday for the bone scan and depending on what that shows (if nothing) then I can go to PT. He said my only other alternative is cortisone injections; however, I had one in each hip two years ago when I was diagnosed and they only lasted three days. So he won't go that route.

I take Ultracet for pain but that doesn't really work anymore and the doc I go to is homeopathic so he doesn't precribe meds. I'm going for my annual physical on Wed with my PCP so I'm going to see if she will prescribe anything different.

Thanks again!
Tranquility
