Default re CT scan

I would probably go with the CT scan to rule out the fracture and esp. if there is something that can be done regarding a fracture or even just for a broader diagnostic view.

I guess Mark can really answer your question in terms of what could be shown and if the CT scan is warrented.

I don't take CT scanning lightly but if it might show something that can be treated or be utilized further in terms of overall diagnostics I'd likely do it.

Maria,
I guess my question to them is "if there's a fracture what can be done?" I strongly suspect nothing can be done. I do like the idea of diagnostics. It's always good to know as much as possible. I cancelled the followup appointment with the NS, now I'd kind of like to know what she would say. I'm in no rush, I'll see what the forums say. I'm 99% sure there's nothing to be done.
