I realize that 90% of the time they don't recommend surgery in these cases. It's almost always treat with drugs, time, bed rest, and physical therapy. When you lose the ability to walk and/or start shitting your pants then all of sudden its an emergency and lets do surgery. And then it's too late to prevent further nerve damage because you have already allowed the nerves to die.
And that's the dilemma. there is only a small chance that surgery would be recommended or do any good. But, in a worse case scenario you don't want to be the small chance.

We have an appointment to see primary on Wednesday. IMO when someone presents with all the classic symptoms of disc herniation the MRI should not have to wait for 2 weeks to happen. but because she didn't have "trauma" and she wasn't in a car accident it couldn't possibly be an emergency issue.

I had to suggest even the mildest fraud, but maybe in the future you should say she fell down and now is having these back problems. TRAUMA!

I probably should have told them I pushed her down the stairs.

I hope Fisher has kept all the credit cards away from you.

and the authorization for the MRI finally came in the mail.
