I agree with Justin. Some physicians may seem to lack good bed-side manners but, given their diagnostic skills, if it is not an emergency in their eyes, they are not going to treat it as such. The body is an amazing healing machine anyway, and some things take longer to settle down than others. Surgery is never as good as what God gave us to begin with, so it is a last resort method. I've said before that, when the pain becomes actual suffering, then it is time to take another course of action. I hope that things settle down for your spine and that surgery is not necessary. You can always rely on us for a sympathetic ear and support in the process. Hang in there.
