Hi Ali
Welcome! Sorry to hear about your problems> I also was lost about my lumbar spine and did my homework, research, asked tons of questions.
Visited many Doctors, several test XRays, MRI, Cscane, EMG,etc
The best thing I did was to contact GPS Mark
He explained everything to me in laymans terms.Super nice Person.
He may post here and ask you a few questions?
Take Care
Keep Moving Forward
Gil
