Orthopedic surgeon in my case, specializing in spines. HE was honest

enough to say that most spines after day 50 or so, show signs of aging, wear,

and tear, but you cannot look at an MRI and know in most cases if it's

painful or not...some people have ghastly looking rads, but no pain..others..the

problem doesn't look that bad, but...it's hitting a nerve.

And the pain level, at least mine, has varied over the years from

" screaming " to " I'd rather it were not here, but I can manage every day life

with

help from pain meds 95% of the time " ...though at the 6 year mark it got bad

enough for surgery. It got almost that bad again but...now..it's eased up

some and life goes on.

i did show that MRI to my personal general MD and he said that the MRI

showed nothing unusual and the pain is all in my head.

So obviously ill never go back to him anymore, would you reccomend i see

a Physical therapist ? Also what is an Ortho ?
