Thanks for the info, I just feel like these doc. look at me and are saying, well your only 26, your young, blah blah blah. The surgeon came right out and told me he would not operate on my lower back (L5-S1) herniation because I was so young. It just feels like a big circle jerk. Almost like these doc. are under supervision and always looking over there shoulder to see who watching them....thats the vib I get anyhow. Like there affraid to do what "Needs" to be done.
