    If it was me I'd start with the PT (make sure you find a good one who knows about cycling) and go from there. But what do I know.

    No two skeletons are alike, and there are a whole lot of variations - common and less common ones - that doctors like to label as "abnormalities."
    Thx Oakleaf...

    No casting of my leg bone. I hear ya, I've been put through the ringer before on other stuff and am now for the conservative approach. The casting is for my feet. To make the orthotics. Which I do need. My arches as SO high, nothing OTC comes close.

    It was a major PITA to find a PT place within my ins network. I go in this week. It's at a orthopod surgeon practice & sports med center. I really hope their PTs know cycling. It's so limited for choices.

    I had an awesome doc for some back issues that I took PT at her practice. She was a physiatrist MD and also an avid cyclist! BUT, she closed her practice & PT shop in the area.
