Went to the doctor today for my back. I have moderate scoliosis, the exact cause of which is indeterminate. I was sent for x-rays to make sure that scoliosis is all that's physiologically wrong with me, ie to check intervertebrate disks and vertebrae themselves. I got a prescription for physical therapy, which will cost a small fortune but I suppose is necessary, and a prescription for Voltaren. It seems to be pretty safe as far as drugs go, been in use for decades and is "well-tolerated" as I suppose the saying goes. So I'll take it. It's supposedly a pretty effective painkiller, so hopefully it works well.

So there. For all of you harping on me to go get my back checked out, I did. So good work. I'll update if it gets better or worse. Whee.
