This is what I wrote my PCP:
Thank you for your quick response to my request. I had the xrays done on my hips and knees, neck and lower back.
The first 3 areas showed signs of arthritis.
Will I receive a copy of the explanation of the arthritis, specific areas of the cervical spine, etc.?
Thank you for ordering the mobic. The celebrex I will put on hold as it is very expensive. I will wait and see if the mobic gets me a decent nights sleep.
This morning, I saw Patricia Boulet, PT.
She believes both my hips have bursitis, so she is treating me for this with ultra sound using lidocaine and some other medication. She uses message as well. This thursday I see her again and probably twice a week for a while.
I will go as long as I can afford her therapies.
Thank you again for your care and concern.
Just for your information, Dr. Orazio prescribed Naltrexone one month ago to help with my alcohol issues.
I believe it may be helping a bit so far.
