I'm so glad you have a Dr. now that is taking care of business and will be treating the real problem. Isn't it frustrating to have Dr.'s that don't listen or don't take the proper action when it's called for. Soon I hope you'll be having the proper treatment and be in less pain soon.
I can sure relate to the pain and my Dr. had to try 3 times before my insurance company would allow the MRI. The results showed my discs are gone and three verterbae are tilted out of place.
