Thanks madisongrrl, I think that's a really logical way to approach what most of us are facing.
For me, first order of business is to get a diagnosis - if for no other reason than to support my case if/when I have to ask for accommodations and/or go out on disability from work. Pain management is ok for me right now, although things are getting slowly worse.
I'm also seeking the cause, but it's tough because there are so many possibilities and no strong evidence to suggest any one is more likely than the others. I guess all you can do is rule them in or out one at a time
