Default What to do

Arabella,

After reading your post I noticed there was a real jump to non conservative treatment. I did not see how the conclusion was made on a disc herniation. Did you have an MRI? What were the results? You were given ESI's but to no avail. I am more into questioning the process used to get to the results for which you are experiencing pain. If you have no coverage for medical procedures how did the doctors allow these conclusions.

Based on your age only I would be looking at the most conservative option after you have some conclusive results from diagnostic testing. If you have diagnostic results share them and then expect a plethora of information from many who visit this site.

Paul
