Maria;
This will be the second consult. I already saw Dr. Ian Ross neurosurgeon. He didnt explain my MRI results worth a crap, and basically said he can fuse my spine if I want surgery. So basically my first consult was worthless especially discouraging since he supposed to be some top tear expert. I will make an appointment for the second opinion which has been approved but I'm not very optimistic given my past experience with neurosurgeons. I will have questions ready for him but if he is like 99% of all Dr's ive seen he wont come anywhere close to answering my questions in the rushed 10 minutes they give me. Ive been through physical therapy, Chiropractic, and pain mngmnt. PM wanted me to have facet nerve blocks, but I'm not having leg symptoms at this time so I decided not to have those at this time. I want to find the pain generator or generators! I dont want to have a shot, take a pill etc..I want a Dr to do his due dilligence to find the cause.
