It sounds to me like the plan of action has been pretty much the standard of care. PT, and with no or limited results then surgery.

I still say that I may know what is going on but I have not made a diagnosis. I have formulated a plan based on all S/S and history in order to anticipate what i might have to do, but I still treat signs and symptoms as they present. A good example is moderate chest pain and ST depression on the EK...
