Discussion: Diagnosis

Sorry to hear that. :( I always feel better after an MRI that allows a physician to see what's really going on, rather than just making an educated guess from my symptoms. The advice you received is clear and practical and allows you to set priorities and choose strength training that will hopefully improve your symptoms. Given that you knew there was a problem, it's great to understand exactly what's going on in there, and whether you will make things worse by doing certain activities. All the best. You're strong, you're a good physio patient and I know you'll do as well with this as anyone could.
