I've been seeing a pain doctor for a couple of months. He ordered the Mri. I am seeing a physiatrist Monday.

Physiatrist should help a bunch i used to work with one.

I am surprised they haven't done the shots yet.

I'm on the old side of middle age. I herniated a disk in the summer of 2012; treated via chiropractor and spinal decompression. Took a while but got better, even to normal for my age. Then aggravated it summer'16. Treated via Airrosti (soft tissue manipulation and highly recommended if any near you).

Few notes and questions:
a) What's your age group?
b) Would stretches help him? If so, takes time but if you can do the right stretches you may be able to heal without shots or surgery.
c) Candidates for back surgery are screened better now. IOW, you can find out if you're a good candidate or not.

Best wishes and God bless. Back pain is a pain.
