I just saw the Ortho surgeon that did huge back surgery on June 1st. My CT disc I bought “was” for neck pain, & original purpose for visit.

He sent in a young foreign Dr. to see me first…poor English, nothing against him, I just didn’t he got gist of what I said.

Then Dr. came in. Showed how bad neck vertebrae are above neck fusion someone else did neck. But not bad enough for surgery.
I said lower back pain trumped neck pain today….my lower back pointing toward pelvis was killing me. He said if worse, we’ll CT it. But not done yet even after calling back today, no call back.
I’m 68 & I’m NOT wanting surgery, but I know when something isn’t right. Q
