Mike - the University of Memphis program I wrote about is as far as I know only in Memphis. They have studied back injuries extensively and I have spoken to staff there before regarding my back.

You could research the University of Tennessee near you and see if they have a comparable program.

Yes you are right - I looked at your MRI again and recounted your bones, it is the L5-S1 and the Sacrum has limited space. But like I said I am not a doctor. Regarding my MRI I relied on the report as presented by the radiologist. Funny that you did not get one with your films. According to my doctors what can floor me - it may not floor you - everyone is a individual - but know your symptoms.

Good luck in your endevors -

Sounds like you are doing everything right
