If you haven't already, search online and read every medical book associated with the ailment. Don't believe a man gets info from a doctor office or pain clinic except on their perceived "need to know" basis. I was really amazed at what I learned on my own. Many ways to treat a disc besides with a knife and a dremel.
I've done a lot of research on this honestly! I was pretty pissed about the whole thing. My Doc's nurse called and left a message to call, I called and called, no return call. Then I got a letter in the mail that I had an appointment with "pain management" the next Monday. I couldn't get a hold of my Doc at all!
The specialist, wow! I was a real inconvenience to him, taking his time and asking questions. I was doing good to get seven min of his time. His plan is two shots, one high, one low back, every six weeks.
Then I did some research online and was ready cancel the whole thing! I wasn't happy or comfortable about any of it! I called other specialists, but they don't do consolations, only shots and other Doc's wanted me to go to their people to get another MRI, the copy of the one I had wasn't good enough for them.
A whole lot of run around for a second opinion!
I went and talked to my Chiropractor, he explained what was on the MRI, what it meant, got a model of the spine and showed me how I was afflicted and how these shots would help me, and help him be able to fix me in the future. He knew this specialist and had seen his work and highly recommended I do this.
Not sure why nobody else could have done that?
Not too bad for a redneck, heh?
I was thinking of sending some cash with the firewood so that you could get yourself something to eat while I unload it and stack it for you, would that be ok also?
I think I'll bring a couple 12-packs of European beer for you to drink while I sharpen all of your chains, those would probably bother your back in a bad way if you had to do that yourself.
You know, come to think of it I'm gonna write that guy on TV that does those home makeovers. Your story seems as sad as any of the others that get new homes...but I've seen some pretty sad stories...do you think you could poke one of your eyes out so we would have a better chance of getting a free home for you?
Other than the poking an eye out, I like it!
