Sorry to vent on your thread, Lizardlady, but other orthopedists have done me wrong, too--like I'm convinced I had knee surgery that I really didn't need! Is there something missing in their training? I can understand, then, to some extent what you're dealing with! Or WHO!

payne you might want to go see a neurosurgeon about your spine. i saw an othopedist for my first opinion and RAN to the neurologist's office for a second opinion. surgery went fine with neurosurgeon and my spine is healthier than the one God gave me. check it out if you can and take a copy of your MRI. the MRI is quite good even tho you were told thiings "were hard to get to". BAH! they are the best for definition.
since the wreck, prompt attention is needed. damage may have increased.
