Thank you for caring.

The one neurosurgeon I saw, saw me for less 10 minutes.
Told me there was nothing he could do.

I am terrified of surgery, but have read so many places how so many folks were only given relief from the surgery.

I so hope your pain is not bad now.

Blessings to you.

@joy75 Just ten minutes? So typical of our health care system today. About ten years ago I had terrible back pain due to a fall. I went to three different orthopedic surgeons. Each one told me, in a similar way, that there was nothing he/she could do to help me. This was after a cursory inspection of my first MRI. Well, I kept searching and was directed to a neurologist who spent an hour and a half checking me over. Ultimately, I was prescribed a cocktail of meds that gave me my life back. So, we have to be our own best advocates. Have a blessed day.
