OK, so in my quest to cover all the bases, my pcp wanted me to see one more doc. After seeing yet another rheumatologist who specializes in sports med, having an upper lumbar MRI, I now have a prescription for PT. It turns out I have some minor degeneration in my discs and my neck is a little messed up, too. At least she didn't tell me to stop exercising.
I called the local PT clinic and I have an appointment for next Thursday. When I read the diagnosis to the person on the phone, I said, "and by the way, I am a cyclist. I could use some help with my IT band, groin, and lower back too."
Hopefully this person will be able to help all of my areas.
