I went to my Dr. yesterday He said that I should see a physiatrist. I have been doing some research and the only thing I have concluded is that a Physiatrist is an over paid Physical Therapist. What do you think?? He at first said that I needed to see an orthopedist then he changed his mind. I live in rural Mo and I can't be driving clear to St. Louis to have my hips rubbed and then sent home with the same exercises that my previous PT gave me, let alone paying several thousands of dollars to have the same treatment that I can get from PT, that I have already had. Who knows how long the relief of pain if any will last this time? I my be looking at the glass as half empty but right now that's how I feel. Some one please help!!!
