I actually had a refreshing experience last week seeing a surgeon. I have three bulging disks in my neck and again, this doctor is a surgeon, but she went way out of her way to detail all the treatments I'll try before we talk more seriously about surgery. She also answered all my questions about exercise (I have a daily routine that I want to maintain) and she helped me pick and choose which things might be good to stop temporarily until I feel better.

I was really dreading that appt. precisely for the reasons you just stated: sometimes they are so anxious to cut, it seems. Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
