Dr. was a real nice guy,friendly........They did x rays of my back there,my spine showed up like a curvy,winding country road.....He examined me,then said"In my opinion,you have real serious issues in there,which is causing all your other pain besides your back,and your numb right foot,along with your muscle loss in your right calf is indicative of major nerve death in your back and legs,which must be corrected to stop the advancing nerve and muscle damage".........He then went on to say "Now,Im not God,but I do believe I CAN help you",then he said he wanted to order an MRI and an EMG,then he will know how to proceed......The tests will be for some time in Novemer,and Dr.told me the equivalent of "Now,don't go hiding under the bed until the tests come back,just be careful"..........I have noticed my right leg getting worse...Good thing I went to him,today.........
