Agree with Star. When you get the MRI CD from the imaging place, go home and make a few copies. Some of the best Spinal Institutes will do a evaluation by a nerosurgeon for $25-50 ( mail to them ) to make sure no underlying causes and check for things that could lead to future neurological problems.
I had bad back problems last year, a GP and 2 ortho docs later I went to a Nero, he looked at my MRI and poked my trouble spot with the end of his pen.....dead on. That's after the other docs rubbed me all over my back trying to find the spot and couldn't localize it.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Great looking out... don't want them redone for quite some time !
