Harrison and Romakis,

Thanks so much for the replys. I really appreciate it.
I have had two consults with Dr. Clavel so far and I am having Dr. Zeegers consult with me as well. Have a lot of homework that I have been doing for him.
Looking forward to his opinion as well! He did tell me that 95% of the time, that pelvic/genital pain comes from the spine as far up as the thoracic levels.

Dr. Clavel also told me that though I don't have big herniations, my tears are quite significant which can be causing a lot of pain. Especially the tear that I have L3-4. He said these nerves beach down into the sacrum. So keeping my fingers crossed. Surgery scares me but living like this for the rest of my life scares me even more. There is hope though. Feels good to be getting some answers!

Gina :-)
