Ortho

Saw the orthopedic specialist today. He showed me my bone x-rays, which has already been scanned and stored in his computer, and drew tangents on them to illustrate his point - that my bones aren't exactly aligned. There may be some past injury on the disk- leading to misalignment of the lumbar and hence causing stress on the 'connecting hook' which shows signs of arthritis. There is no cure for arthritis and also currently, there is no known 'spare parts' - Righto!
