I recently have found out that I have a 25 degree curve in my spine. About 2 months ago I tweaked my back to the point of not being able to walk for a short period of time. I went to the hospital and they referred me to physical therapy which only made my pain worse. I scheduled an appointment with my PCM who then sent me for x-rays and an MRI. X-rays show 25 degree curve. I am currently waiting for my orthopedic appointment. I’m currently on 30 days of light duty while on my ship. What are some possible outcomes of this and questions I should ask my ortho when I go and what are some options I could bring up? I’ve been told by one of my Chiefs they are going to send me limdu. Also could this affect me moving with much ship to japan when we homeport shift in a year?
