I should mention that he has lost over 95 pounds, and is just so lost as to which direction to go. He has no idea what kind of arthritis he has he is going in for a blood test next week. But he PCD never even suggested that could be the cause for all this trouble.

He may need to see another neurologist and have a CAT scan or at least take the MRI report for the Dr to read and give his opinion. I am of the school of thought after 12+ years of back pain..the more information you have the better decisions you can make about your care. Good luck!
