Recently made the transition from reserve to Active Duty and have been dealing with back issues dating back to 2010. I had my first physical therapy appointment today and I was treated like I was just there to get a profile. I have been told by two different doctors that my rehab and recovery time would be between 5-6 months in the absolute best case and some of my disks are severely worn. Madigan Physical therapy hardly looked at my back(a few strength tests), no MRI or X-ray when they knew they had no record in their files and to make things more comical, they said id be just fine within 3-4 weeks. This is exactly why no one wants to enlist anymore. The military will break you physically and never hold up their end of the deal to give proper health care.
