Joe played this football season with a broken back! We didn't know. He had x-rays and an MMR and saw numerous physical therapists etc., but of course the pain persisted. The last game I watched I was actually crying because I could see the pain was intense, but stupid me I still beleived the doctors. He finally got a cat scan that revealed the break. It was an old break or cold break, therefore they couldn't see it. He had a bone graph( bone taken from his hip and placed in the L4 vertebrae to repair the damage) and in six months we will know a lot more, like if it worked. Of course, he wants to play football more than ever and won't even consider any other option.
