i vote for getting another opinion.
make sure you get copies of your records from his office. you'll have to sign a release and may have to pay but what you read may be an eye opener. at the least it will be informative.

then get copies of your mri's.
armed with all that you can bring it with you should you want another opinion.

i'd also check with your pcp. hopefully they will take you seriously.
maybe they can get you back on your feet.

your dr doesn't sound qualified to do an LP.
errrrrr. i hate when drs tx you like that. anxiety???? poo.
