HAve you done PT? I went for a bulgin disk and it really helped, also the PT was really against chiro b/c she said it does not help you learn how to take care of your body. [ Reply | More

neurologist will see whether you need a surgery. not a big deal, microsurgery. or he'll put you on hydrocortizone for starters. in that case make sure he prescribes a good brand name, not a cheap generic substitute which has terrible side effects. the neurologists are forced by insurance companies to prescribe the crap. if your neurologist prescribes the cheap thing - switch, he is probably not so good himself or in bad terms with insurance co, which are all bad signs [ Reply | More

I would see an osteopath, or else an acupuncturist. I'd stay away from chiropractors, honestly. I've got recommendations for people if you are in NYC -- gotta put the kiddies to bed, but i'll check back later if you want names. [ Reply | More
