Well....the PD back pain is the least of my worries. On August 25 I had a major cycling accident. Broke 9 ribs (5 were displaced) concussion (lost consciousness for a few minutes), bruised lung, etc. since the accident I have been "tapped" twice pulling 1.5 liters of blood and fluid from my right chest cavity and then again another 1.2 liters of fluid from same area. I have one rib under scapula which is not healing as well as it should be and may need a plate and screws. So...right now dealing with accident recovery.
Other than that, I am well 😀

@lsdempsey Hello Steve,
What an unfortunate accident! I'm so sorry to hear about it, this really slows you down.
How long were you hospitalized after the accident? When will a decision be made regarding more treatment for the rib?

@lsdempsey - I am so sorry to hear about your cycling accident. That is indeed major. Wow.
How have the other ribs been healing, and the bruised lung? Are you still having concussion symptoms?
