Well, if you are that much pain, then you should absolutely relate that to your doc and let him know in no uncertain terms that your pain is not being controlled with the Valium. If your MRI findings are consistent with your clinical findings, then why are not a Medrol Dose Pak and stronger pain meds being prescribed?
If they are blowing you off for another 3 or 4 weeks before seeing the ortho (who won't do much very fast either), then that tells me they either don't seem worried about your clinical presentation; this is an HMO/WC/litigated issue or just simply don't have a clue (or care).
