She suggested options and next steps to alleviate my levels of back pain, whether they be non-invasive, diagnostic or physical intervention.

my appointment was for 2nd round of trigger shots for back pain, provider did not appear to realize this, discussion with provider was better than first visit, but definitely not as explanatory as i would expect, bottom line, no trigger shots at this visit, referral to PT, different muscle relaxant ( not sure why), bottom line, another two months before another follow up... a very passive approach to pain mgmt.
