I agree. What's even sadder is that when the doctor does something wrong, he or she won't ever own up to it. They will try to make you feel stupid or that you did something wrong.

Well I don't know about the new things being mentioned. I do believe that most doctors don't have our best interest at heart. I also believe politics is just a big show and we are the watchers and...

Neither one of them touched my nerve pain and they both made me bedridden all day. Not for me. Others I know swear by them and function like they aren't taking anything. Funny, isn't it?

Well I'm gonna go over my current MRI and digital x-rays with the Doctor and I'll go from there. I'm leaning toward no more surgery. It just doesn't feel right in my gut.
