have no experience w/ UHC.... but, i do have a question - have you had a discogram? MRI's do not always correlate with symptoms. a bad disc isn't always symptomatic, and a disc doesn't have to look terrible to cause pain. just something to ask your doc about... might help your case.

i've had 2 and well... they totally suck, but definitely gave me and my dr's confidence that we were just dealing with 1 bad disc.

i'm also young - 33 - sorry you're also having to deal with this when everyone else is out building their lives.
