Well, I'm not coming out of the brace just yet. He would rather ween me out of it for a few weeks. CAT scan is schedules for more detail to see what is going on in there. The X-rays came back ok, but does not tell the whole story according to the doc.
I will be starting with 4 wks of PT to start to see if it helps with the problems that I am having now. Hopefully everything will be just fine and we can get back to normal.
