What should I do for pain management?

Question by : What should I do for pain management?
I am 22 years old and have been dealing with severe pain in my neck and back for months. I’m not sure what the cause is. I have a very physically demanding job and and i’ve also been popping my neck and back for as long as i can remember. My neck also clicks during normal movement. The pain hit a point of unbearable so i finally went in to a small local clinic since I don’t have a primary care doctor. I was put on prednisone which didn’t help me any so they had me do a ct scan which came back clean so they sent me to physical therapy. I went in to P/T and they did a full evaluation of me and they said based upon their evaluation i they didnt even want to touch me and that i had serious issues going on and that I needed to get to an Ortho immediately. I’m having an MRI done tomorrow. But the soonest I could get an appointment with the ortho is a month out. I’m not sure what to do for pain management for at least the time being. I’m currently taking lortab 7.5/500 three times daily. Day to day my pain is about a nine and each pill brings the pain down to a seven and wears off within two hours. I’m just really confused on what to do. Are injections any good? Any other options and where should I go? Should I just go back to the small local clinic?

Question by : Should I go into Physical Therapy as a career?
I’m interested in physical therapy, but I’m not really good at math or chemistry. But my dad’s a D.O., and I really like his job. Should I major in it? If you are a Physical Therapist, what do you like/dislike about your career and do you have any tips for becoming a PT ?

Question by tharey123: What should I major in if I want a career in Physical Therapy?
Well I’m in my first year of college and the career of Physical Therapy interests me. I know its competitive but is it really as they say? Most careers are competitive. I don’t really like Science but when I think about it, I havent really taken much science courses in high school. What if I have all my pre requisites and God forbid I dont get in PT school? What should I major in?

Here are my stats:
3.65 weighted GPA (Many honors classes and 1 AP class)

Distinguished Honor roll in 10th, 11th, and 12th grade
Ranked in the top 20% in a National Financial Capability Challenge
Chief Editor of Literary Magazine
Owner, Founder, and Operator of a Landscaping Business (pretty successful too)

Patrol Leader and Quarter Master in Boy Scouts
Class President
Varsity Baseball
Basketball League
Leader of a religious youth group

Answer by xo379
Your GPA is pretty good, though your ACT is low (can you take it again?) Your extracurriculars are great.
Remember you will most likely need to take the SAT II.
Colleges with a Business Management major near(ish) to PA that you might want to consider include the following. Note that some are reaches, while others are matches or safeties:
Bucknell
GW
U Richmond
Northeastern
Babson (I *think* their business program might be very competitive, but I’m not sure so double check)
Gettysburg (match/possible safety)
Marist
SUNY Stony Brook, SUNY Oswego, SUNY Buffalo (or, really, any of the SUNY schools) (most are safeties)
Villanova
American (match)
Muhlenberg
Franklin and Marshall (match)
Fordham
George Mason
Rutgers
UConn
U Delaware
Boston U (match/possible reach)
U Pittsburgh (safety)
Syracuse
NOTE: American, George Mason, Muhlenberg, Gettysburg, Franklin & Marshall are all SAT/ACT optional, which might be good for you, since you have a strong resume but a lower ACT score (see http://fairtest.org/university/optional)

Should I pursue a career in physical therapy or Management Information Systems (computer study)?

Question by Marissa C: Should I pursue a career in physical therapy or Management Information Systems (computer study)?
Im going into my sophomore year of college and ive been taking a few business classes (for accounting) but now i feel like accounting could be very boring. I want a job i can wake up every morning and want to go to work and also have some money. I like working with computers and systems like databases and excel. however i feel like that could be stressful and boring after a while. Im also interested in physical therapy or sports and exercise science. Im just afraid of how tough the classes will be. and i want want to figure out in a couple years that its too tough for me to carry on my studies.
so do you have any suggestions? or questions i should be asking myself. Also if you have any information on the following careers i would love to hear more about it.
Im just feeling like i need to pick a major soon (im undeclared) because i dont want to feel like i am wasting my time at college. Please help!
Best answer:
Answer by Meg D
Business is more or less a general degree now since you can go into pretty much most industry. However, without a specialized field, it’d be hard to land a job. I would suggest accounting or computer science. Computers are still hot even in this economy. Accounting can always land you a job. The more specialized you become, the easier to get a job. But it’d also be harder to change careers later.

Question by celeb: I’m undecided if i might want to look into the Physical Therapy career. What should i study in college?
I am going to be a senior in high school and i don’t know what i want to do (which probably isn’t that abnormal). Physical Therapy has always interested me, but i still don’t know for sure. If i got my bachelors degree in something else, say mechanical engineering, would it be very difficult for me to change to physical therapy? Or could i just go to grad school for PT?

What State College Should I Go To?
Ok so I’m a junior in high school, my grades aren’t all that, I’m outgoing, I love outdoor activities, along with the downtown night life. I want to go to a school that is fun party wise and has a good education system with a hopefully beautiful campus. I would love to be near the beach and I live in california so i don’t think that would be hard to find. I have many major choices such as, journalism, political science, dietetics, physical therapy, and hospitality manage. and admin.! If you have any suggestions that would be nice!
My number one priority is the major and second is the party scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually reverse those ^^^^^
