Hi George,
Thanks for your post. I agree with what you have said, and my wife reminded me that the ER doctor did suggest that I see either my family doctor or physiatrist in a week or so. Also, I am sure the problem is a muscle strain which in actuality is a tearing of muscle fibers.
Anyway, I am feeling much better today although the meds are wreaking havoc in my stomach and lower intestine!
Best regards
