Could you please explain the conflict that you see on the report? The test was conducted by a Spine & Muscle/Joint Specialist who completed his training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation with a subspecialty in Spine & Musculoskeletal Medicine and Pain Medicine. I have been seeing him for a few months now.
I have received a round of steroid epidural injections from him using Fluoroscopy. It helped some but not that much. I would say it reduced my pain by about 30%. He is trained in acupuncture so I have gotten a couple of treatments from him. He prescribed specially compounded nerve/pain cream for me, but it is very expensive and my insurance doesn't cover it. I am not sure if it really works or not either.
