Go to an academic medical center for spine surgeon

Don’t always count on reviews on their own website, the provider can cull negative ones. Are you near Emory? You need a neurosurgeon. Yes, I know, people immediately think “surgeon” means that is the first thing that they do. A good one will be very conservative and try anything before doing surgery, unless like my cases was an emergency, that’s why I still do things and walk unaided! Unless it’s absolutely prescribed by your neurosurgeon, don’t use any physical aids for longer than a week or ten days. If you do, your muscles will weaken and you won’t be able to do without that device!

Goggle google google…look up a specialist in your area and do some recon on them. Google has everything you need to do this. If you haven’t already done this…Thats how I look an research everyone that i have to see and deal with. Makes me feel more in control because i know things about them. There’s also patient reviews on their website. Which I like to read up on…
Good luck to you..😊
