My PT said that i have great posture and yes when the pain starts to kick in full force i tend to stiffen up, I do make myself very conscious of this and try to avoid any weird positions that will make the situation worse. Oh I thought that the botox was like a One time thing and if it worked it worked, symptoms would be gone . So, well maybe he is doing it to give me some relief until he can get me set up for surgery. However he was pretty honest w/ me (which I like) and stated that the botox prob. isn't going to do much for me considering that it's extra ribs we are dealing w/. How was the ride home??? The roads up here are HORRIBLE Ok so maybe the lady doctor who referred me to him will do my post op care, yeah i'll have to talk w/ him and make a plan for that.
