Hi Navneet, Thanks for keeping in touch. How much did you tell the doctor today...did you mention the new pain on the left side? Your MRI is very recent, is it not? I think you need to ask all these questions to the doctor you saw today, and hopefully he can get back to you very soon, since things are progressing quickly.
Do you have his email? He is normally very good about answering quickly, especially if he is concerned about your symptoms.
I'm sorry things are getting worse instead of better, but you are very lucky to be getting some good advice so early in your experience with this pain. So many of us let it go far too long before finding help with doctors as good as you have found already.
Please continue your fight...you are doing a great job, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
