Physician gave sliver of hope. Praying.
Backstory
So many of you know I had 2 back surgeries in 1 year. This time the surgery did not help. I went back yesterday and the Dr. said it was unlikely I would get better. I start aggresive physical therapy next week. I'm trying to be positive, but the prospect of living with this pain is not a pleasent thought. I'm supposed to go back to work in a month, and wonder if I can do my job, or if I am going to need a new one. If this doesnt work, I will have to get a second opinion, which is difficult, as most Dr.do not want to touch you after someone else does surgery. Thanks for letting me vent. by Mourningdove in Six-Word Memoirs on Oct 10, 2012 |

I strongly suggest you use the time off now to do heavy duty research via the web and gather lots of info. You may find a someone in a similar circumstance who can lead you to a doctor. I've heard many success stories from sharing medical info on the web. You many also want to get some referrals for Disability attorneys, should you be unable to return to work. Good luck.canadafreeze says,
