Cheryl,
Everytime I hear a story similar to yours, my blood begins to boil. There is much to much suffering at the hands of incompetent physicians and it's pretty scary. For a doctor to tell you to suffer because there's nothing else he can do for you... It's time for another opinion and possibly even another after that.
A thought, if your doctor refuses to do fusion and fusion or ADR are the only remedies, maybe you have a shot at coverage. You might want to read the book in Mark's library about ins. appeals. Mark, help me out here.
I hope you find a better doctor and good luck, Dale
