Jerry you were right!

From an email I received today. 

Jerry, 

I just wanted to give you an update on what I found out at my recent surgical consult  

The surgeon, Dr. Kenneth………. ,  completely feels that my problem is my disc is basically very "worn out" were his words.  He was very surprised that not a single surgeon mentioned it could be a pain generator for almost year of seeing doctors.  When he injected, he completely reproduced my achy type of pain to a T.   I had some IV meds as they were doing it but I was fully aware and having a conversation along with still feeling plenty of pain so I know what I felt.  It gave me validation that you were right. 

 Anyway, we discussed surgical options.  So overall it was a good appointment with a lot of good information.  My question for you is, …….

Again, you were right!

Thank you,

J…………….. 

Jerry's reflection: Her pain presentation was very straight-forward yet appropriate diagnosis has been very evasive. Her pain is disabling, she cannot work, she has young children, why? I wish i knew.
