    Getting a second opinion was suggested. The next day I met with Dr. Zanotti, new Xrays were taken, an MRI is scheduled, and a follow up review is scheduled. All of this to see if indeed there is nothing to be done but to follow exercise. Recommending a second opinion was very helpful. Also, Zanotti gets everything done quickly.
