Dr L spent some time on my mid back this morning. In my updated I said it's "tight and feels kinked", and that when sleeping I wanted to "curl up and not stretch out". Same comments I made 2 years ago with Heather with my T7 and T8 fractures. Dr L said the same thing she did -- muscles are compensating, this time from the lumbar. After a few thumb-based tortures (good tortures though!) things certainly felt different, but by mid day my entire mid back was tired, cranky, not pained, but I kept wanting to rest and lean.
He didn't work on the hips, and once at work with a name I called WashU to start that process. I have the second MRI this Saturday. Clohisy was who Dr L recommended, but WashU is trying to divert me to Hunt or Prather. Need to look them up to learn more. Seems they were hung up on the "labrum tear" I mentioned even though I don't think that's the main reason I was being sent to Dr C? They will get the 2nd MRI results from MOBap, I've asked for the first MRI results to be forwarded,... next week they will review the reports and go from there.
How am I feeling? I'm adjusting to the extreme (for me!) reduction in activity. Since I'm walking from a distant-but-free parking spot I'm still logging 10K steps per day, and while it's uncomfortable I wouldn't call it painful. But it is unpleasant.
