My doctors at school did not help at all. Now I've been given a cortosone injection in my back to ease the pain and will see my physical therapist for my first real appointment this evening. My buddies and I had planned to go to my Vermont cabin and wanted to go tonight after my appointment but now I'm thinking that it might be a bad idea for my injury to be in a cramped car. Also, New England got hit hard with snow and my friend might not be able to drive my jeep well b/c its a 94 and a stick shift. Any advice? I could go on Jan 2 if I cancel one appointment.

It would be safer to postpoint it. boylover101 Posted at 11:14 am on Dec. 22, 2008 Quote: from haffwoff at 11:04 am on Dec. 22, 2008dont cancel the appointment. the sooner you get fixed the better.

I'm going to ask my physical therapist this evening. If he says NO WAY then I won't go. If he says it's not a big deal then I'll go.
