[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 683187, member: 484"] first off, the panel doc could be a gynecologist for all you know. we had the same thing happen with my son, who when biting down, the teeth in the back were a half inch apart, so there was no way he could chew food properly. the panel doc for the insurance company that kept on refusing the surgery was a gynecologist. that should be malpractice, but it seems it is widespread. anyway, i had two respected chiropractors look at what you posted, both are guys that i would totally trust, and both have been in practice for 25+ years each. both said that chiropractic help would/could help you tremendously in regaining your health and movement. they both said that they have seen 98% or better of the patients with injuries like yours get full relief and movement back in their lives with chiropractic care. both said that since it involved three segments in a row of the lumbar region, especially at the top of the sacrum, that surgery to fix all of them would most likely lead to limited motion and further surgery at the l1-l2 area or even further above as time progressed. also, the trimming of the areas that are pinching the nerves would weaken the walls of the discs, so that continuation of the job you do would cause the complete rupture of the disc and more serious surgeries to be needed in the future. my suggestion would be get a good comp lawyer, not necessarily the one recommended by the union. the union negotiates with a lower rate for its members, but usually the ones that need to go cut rate are actually not as good as others that dont need to cut their rates. that is my experience anyway. but get the lawyer involved in getting better and back to work. you might be surprised as to what getting him involved can do. best of luck. d remember, do the least invasive first, you can always cut later. but if you cut first, then you are stuck with that pathway.
