Should mention prior to the surgery I spent several months with chiropractors, accupuncturist and had deep-tissue massages done regularly...and the condition only got worse. The quacks prolonged the condition by claiming they could fix it. The only thing they fixed was emptying my wallet for repeated treatments.
Fed up, I finally booked an appointment with our family doctor, who scheduled the MRI. He knew right away the classic symptoms, which he said should've been recognized by all the therapists I'd been seeing.
Had I gone to the doctor sooner and not wasted time with the quacks...I likely would have cut my downtime from 7 months to just a couple.
