Alfred B, thank you so much for sharing. Many of your MRI findings are the same as mine. I’ve had 3 or 4 of lumbar spine and just one of cervical spine. What are we to do??? Mayo is supposed to be the best yet one doctor barely evaluated me and wrote me off as misperceiving pain. Is this what happens when they don’t know how to diagnose ?? I thought they were to work as a team of doctors, but the first and only doctor I saw determined my outcome. Now I am reading some horror stories about Mayo from Mayo patients. Is it the best or is that what it once was. Where do I turn. ??? Possibly back to the physician who looked at my neck MRI in 2018 and told me I would need surgery?

Perhaps some doctors worry about their reputation if the problem requires a complex surgery
