Pain mngt is tricky with this Dr who is the surgeon. Cause the first appointment I saw a nurse practitioner who did not recommend surgery but did recommend pain mngt

I jumped over his head & had the Dr look at MRI & see if he recommends surgery or not? Since he did & now I ask for pain mngt, that will throw a monkey wrench into the whole thing.

However. My primary Dr can refer me to pain mngt. I was insulted that he wanted me to live in pain, I didn't know any better at the time.

I have all these Dr's saying get the surgery except this one nurse practitioner like I was saying. I'll be doing a lot of research.
