[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 86262, member: 3704"] Susiestar, I am so glad that you went for the additonal opinions and that you are giving PT and epidural injections a go. I hesitate to speak up about about spinal surgery because I work with individuals who have failed backs and many of them have had 2, 3, 4 , 5 surgeries. If you speak with them, you will find that most of them wish them had never had the first surgery, much less the others. I work in a small medical circle and we all know the names of the docs who generally have the good surgical outcomes and the names of the docs who don't have such good ones. For many, many reasons I keep silent when my clients talk about their docs. I have one client who was told by the doctor that I sent her to that she should find an attorney and file a malpractice suite against the surgeon who last operated on her - no joke. That is the rarest of the rare, to find a doctor that will break the mutual protection code and tell a patient what has really happened to them! Do the personalities and bedside manners of the docs match up with their outcomes? Absolutely not! The very best, and I mean the very best orthopedic surgeon in our area is the most cantankerous man you will ever meet! I refer many people to him, but I always warn them that he is a real piece of work. Usually if they are prepared they can handle his crustiness. As surgery phobic as I am, I would never hesitate to be treated by him - or to send any of my friends or relatives to him. His outcomes are simply wonderful. And, most importantly, if he thinks he can't improve a situation he honestly says so. difficult child's plastic surgeon is the same way. Our orthopedist sent us to him saying "he works miracles".
