You are talking about Dr Plantz with all his poor black downtrodden wreck victims who never had no car inskurance but got nice settlements on top of they welfare payments.

No. Good attorneys don't always recommend the best docs & if that's where he found this doc I'd get a second opinion

I worked for a neurosurgeon for 2 years & saw one patient that had herniated thoracic disks that needed surgery. He referred them somewhere else because he never does that surgery because it's such a rare occurrence

No reputable neurosurgeon is just going to do surgery and skip the PT, meds, rest, time and injections just because you walk in and say you want surgery.

And with no health insurance how'd did you pay for the MRI??

Just one epidural is going to cost you damn near $3000.

Shut up

Chiropractors are bad news. As are the injections

I've got one of the best back Dr's in BR. Honestly I don't see how people get hooked on these pills. The side effects are awful and I don't feel high in the least


You don't feel the high because you actually need them. When you don't need them you will probably like them!

Ok. Because you've worked for a neurosurgeon

Is your step dad a chiropractor?

Lawyer is ordering the MRI's and other stuff.
I guess it'll come out of the settlement.

therapy, epidural steroid shot, or surgery
I have back issues also but not near as severe as you. I would only do surgery as a last option,everyone I've every known that had back surgery regretted it

It will. Unfortunately the best docs don't take attorney cases

Just don't have surgery until you've tried therapy & such

They barely dull the pain. It feels like someone has a flat edge screwdriver and is twisting it in my neck and back.

The last thing you need to do is go to a chiropractor.

If you want black magic come by my house and we can sacrifice some virgin chickens and I can wipe the pure blood on your back.

Never known a doctor in my life, except for the sleeze ball whore plaintiff docs, that would do surgery on a bulging disc. The majority of society over 25 years of age has bulging discs.

I don't want the surgery (nor can I afford it) unless nothing else works.

Not sure I agree with that statement, if you follow your post op instructions, which usually means not doing shite for 6-9 months then back surgery can be a good option.

If the disc are bulging and not fully herniated then conservative treatment may help, when a disc fully herniates and entraps a nerve then surgery is the only sure fire treatment
