M,
the links were a good read, thanks. All my Physical Therapists have done thorough assessments prior to treatment and had the information of my MRI's and other diagnostic tests. I guess because I was referred by the Orthopedic Surgeon/specialist and insurance paid there was no "milking" done tho I'm sure it does go on in some places/practices/somewhere.
Anyway it's good to hear you're feeling better and I do hope that continues! Keep us posted
