hi-i have been seeing an orthopedic surgeon also for
herniated disks with tingling in my right foot. he sent me
through physical therapy and it made it worse. now i have
pain in my right leg along with the pain in my back. finally
after 4 weeks of awful pain my ortho dr is sending me on
to a neurosurgeon and i feel like finally im getting to a dr
i should have been at earlier. a neurosurgeon i have heard
is much more specialized. anyway, let me know how it all
goes. thanks dana
