i am focused on control not facets
the doctors want us to spend all the money trying what they deem least invasive but profitable rather than answering why i have sharp pain into my left hand and my middle fingers on both hands to include my point finger (index?) and the part under my thumb spasm...they have ignored the bone spurs even when they did the fusion it was still showing on a ct 6 months later.
