Hey 7tattos;
Sorry you are in pain, everyone on this site has been in pain with our bad spines. Many here have been fortunate enough to have succesful surgery and live pain free.
My advise is to be more direct with your doctor. Insist on getting an MRI and also having a nerve conduction test done. The beauty of the Canadian health care system is that we are ALL equal. Being rich does not get you to the front of the line. You may not have the funds to get an ADR overseas but we have brilliant Drs. who are willing to help. Our system is slow but they WILL help you. I know some Drs. will not take you seriously if you mention drug use to help with pain.....stop mentioning marijuana if you want them to take you seriously.
Your doctor is worried about depression becasue pain and depression are closely related. Please take the steps to help you live your life to the fullest.
Good luck and God Bless.
