thank you Annapurna
Today I asked for the orginal decompression surgery report. It should come in 2 weeks, if they even still have it because it is so old and they destroy records after 10 years. Tomorrow I go in for the results of the MRI I had last week and also to get the EMG.
I have a difficult time pushing for tests because the doctor wants to do things his way. The current doctor I am seeing is very good and nationally known, but he is a physiatrist and a pain management doctor, not a surgeon and not my ADR surgeon, so I am not sure if he would be looking at this situation the same way an ADR surgeon would.
I see from your signature line you also have facet issues, how are you managing them?
I would really like to be able to manage this situation conservatively and not surgically.
