Quick question, did either of you try a chiro? I tried one immediately after I had initial pain and unfortunately it made things much worse. I am tempted to try it again though. Isn't it supposed to get worse before it improves?

Chiropractic makes sense IMHO to manipulate above and below the levels of involvement, not thru it, supplemented with mechanical traction (both in office and at home several times per day). In addition to that, I am not opposed to interlaminer or transforaminal epidurals if a Medrol dose pack failed. If 1 month (this time frame is variable dependant upon your clinical findings) of a protocol such as mentioned failed, then surgery makes sense. Just thinking out loud...
