Daughter is a D1 swimmer and developed mid back pain. SportsMed is clueless. They just know how to get Mongo's ankle better so he can go to football practice. They made her worse, so she came home for the end of the Summer. Trusted sports chiro says ribs are popped out. Instant relief. She rests a while, goes back to school, SportsMed dicks around and puts her in standard PT, who stupidly makes her practice, which induces excruciating pain. Ribs keep popping out. There is something called sliding rib syndrome which requires the ribs to be tacked in place. We find a local PT/ART practitioner who was an athlete who is helping, but the idiot MD just tells her she has fibromyalgia and gives her pain pills and antidepressants, so we are firing SportsMed and doing this on our own. Costing a fortune but we'll figure it out sooner. Hope you find relief with your back. I had a shoulder MRI and surgery last Fall. I may as well have my paycheck direct deposited to OrthoVA (disclaimer: moron MD who misdiagnosed my daughter is not an OrthoVa MD).
