That doctor sounds biased to me. I’d get some other opinions. I’d rather do my own research. Get many opinions and do all the testing to maintain my quality of life going forward. I got tested for 25 years because of my arthritis it prepared no one when they opened me up for cervical spine surgery, and my C5 literally fell apart in their hands. This required a much more major surgery on the backside of my spine with bigger screws and a rod. I don’t just blindly turn to medicine. I make sure I educate myself and balance it with bioidentical hormones and now I’m much more regimented form of exercise every day for bone health and muscle strength.
