Welcome to NT
You have found a great place to find info and answers.
You may very well be at a disadvantage at first thought.
There are too many options to be stuck with only bad options. We will help you figure it out.
First, were you injured?
Have you had an MRI? other diagnostic tests?
Some diagnoses are surgical issues. Some can be delayed and others need immediate intervention.
Trust???? well, you have to do your homework.
Doctors and surgeons are human.
They are great when things go well. And yes, sometimes things don't go so well.
But really, where would we non-medicals with medical problems be without them?
So many good results that we don't even give them credit for.
They have come so far in the last ten years.
You will find new techniques and options for back pain.
I learned early on, not matter who or what I went to or did, "IT'S MY PROBLEM."
