Physical Therapy

Why is it that every time I go to a different doctor I must fill out the same stupid forms asking the same list of stupid questions?

Name?
Height
Weight
Race?
Are you a male or a female?
Do you smoke?
Do you drink?
Are you suicidal?


Shouldn't all of that be on line some place. Geez!

Anyway...First day of PT went fine. I got a bit of a massage and I was instructed how to stretch the muscles in my lower back and legs to relieve the pain. I know it is way too early to say this but "why do they want me to stretch muscles when the diagnosis clearly states I have a herniated disk?" Huh?

I have serious doubts about the usefulness of PT in my situation. Still I've got to give it three weeks...no choice
