Just came back. 1) I apparently misunderstood her instructions and said I should've taken the antacid in the morning and taken the ibupofen 3 times a day after each meal. It is not to relieve the immediate pain, but rather to reduce the inflammation so each week there is less pain. I should continue this for 3 weeks. 2) If regiment #1 doesn't work, she'll move me to steriodal antiinflammatories. 3 more weeks. 3) After #2 doesn't work, then I get physical therapy. 4) If #3 doesn't work, then surgery will be discussed. 5) She referred me to the MRI people (radiology) so I could get an MRI, anyway, dispite my misdirection/misunderstanding. They're supposed to call me to set-up an appointment.
