Amen to what you both said! As an educator of adults, I find that so many just take what the Doctors say and don't even question it! Then again, if you don't have access to scholarly work, as I do (work for higher education institution), then you are at the mercy of Joe Blows website.
This doc is ADR Pro Disc trained, so I'm hoping that IF the injections don't work, that he'll be willing to consider it.
I'm better today. It's a new day and I'm thankful for virtual friends.
