But, that doesn't mean there's not anything else that can be done.
If the problem is a significant one that impacts significantly on a person's life, they should see a specialist or search the net for more information.
That was the orthopedist that told me that, after I had tried Cortisone injections and physical therapy. And after he did a CAT scan and couldn't find anything wrong. The only thing I can think of is if I go to another orthopedist but I doubt he'll tell me anything differently. Though I imagine he'd probably be a bit concerned if I told him how much I've been using Aleve.
