Get A Second Opinion

no kidding, white_iris...Get A Second Opinion

my (10) back pain did not show on xrays--it was the MRI and Cat Scan that showed exactly what needed to be fixed...
I had one of the best spine surgeons in this area. One of the reasons he's the best?? He doesn't operate unless he knows it's going to help...aka not knife happy.

You have to be your own advocate, and usually it's at the worse time--you hurt, you hurt, you hurt.
Let H run interference for you.

Sorry...but I'm spitting nails at your rectal orifice of a doc...
Give yourself a few hours to cry
then make a plan of action.
