My apologies for being snarky. I've been in severe pain and tomorrow will be going into 5 months of this situation. It's also very maddening and frightening when doctors throw their power around. I am blessed to have finally found a 2nd opinion and that I didn't continue PT to do further damage.

Does anyone know what spinal cord flattening is? I can only think it occurs in the elderly. Also, I believe that rate of stenosis would normally show up over years of progression on an average person.

Malpractice is definitely harmful to victims as well. I believe my PT knew I was in pain and he made a big mistake. The first rule of do no harm may often be replaced with never admit a mistake.
