Thanks for your reply, Leesa!

Actually, one of the surgeons I saw was a neurosurgeon (not an orthopedic surgeon like I said originally). And he agreed with the orthopedic surgeon that the MRI's all looked fine.

I think you are right that I should seek out another pain management dr. I finally got my dr to prescribe a muscle relaxer and I was able to sleep a little better last night.

Thanks again for the help!
