I finally threw my towel in saw my doctor yesterday. He didn't think I needed to see an orthopedicist but he wanted to see X-ray images first. From what I told him, he said that the bone spur may be irritating the muscles in the back... Anyway I'll find out what I need to do next. One nice thing about living in LA is I can be referred to someone who has worked for US Olympic team as either as a doctor, chiro, massuese...

Depending on what he sees, he'll recommend what he think is appropriate. Also had my basic health check done. same old same old. except my heart rate had climbed to 72 resting and my bp was 110/8?. This was like minute after I had another moment of YYEEEOOUUCH! down my back. getting out of my seat.

Well I'm thinking maybe hey, I'll go get my back ROLF'ED or look for McKenzie trained PT's. I'll ask my doctor about that too.

Yes my back is still giving me grief. grrr...
