waiting
Unless you have something really awful going on that hopefully would have been revealed in your diagnostics to date then waiting for a few consults won't make that big of a difference.
Remember that should one have loss of bowel and/or bladder (incontinence) tone, loss of function of an extremity or loss of tone, extreme unrelenting pain or complete numbness of an extremity then these are emergent reasons to be seen and taken care of.
Often we feel like we are getting much worse by waiting and/or could get much worse tho a decision made out of haste or lack of research could be one that would create more suffering so I urge people to really research their options and get 2nd (and then some) opinions with top notch spine surgeons that are able to be objective.
Utilizing Mark (mmglobal) as a resource person/advocate was probably the best decision I made in my spine care in the last 10 years.
