Don't know what to say but to wish you good luck with finding someone you trust in terms of correct diagnosis and prescribed treatment plan. I think the confusion sounds normal at least to start with and by and by some things become clearer (hopefuly) depending on who you see and diagnostics you have done. It's difficult for families to watch our lives come apart so to speak with regard to the "new" person we become with loss and limitation. I do wish you all the best in your efforts to find your "path" so to speak and I'd recommend talking to Mark Mintzer here (mmglobal) as he can be incredibly helpful and has loads of experience working with spine patients as an advocate.
