Nothing more then a very expensive pharmacist. Basically my only option according to him was to be on pain killers and anti inflammatory drugs. thats it. He gave same solution to my friends mother. I went to a better dr., after getting sick of( literally ) constantly taking pain killers, who resolved my disc problem with procedure that has given me a much better quality of life with no dependency on drugs. ( IDET procedure ). He wouldn't sign me off to go on disability, but yet he also wouldn't sign me off as able to return to work. My opinion is he is just another puppet for Workers Comp.
