Doctor was dismissive, deeply uncomfortable, and clinically short-sighted. Asked me about my problems when his job was to read my mri, staring down at my body weirdly as I was answering his questions. After dismissing what I told him I read of the mri myself and what I was told by other doctors, blamed my weight without even asking for my history. The pain started before the weight gain. It’s kind of hard to work out when you can barely stand or walk for long periods of time. I’ve had ongoing spinal and hip pain for 5 years due to work and it took me 4 to see a dr. This facility is why. A fissure means a small tear in the outer ring of your spinal disc. These tears have their own nerve endings and can cause back pain and muscle spasms, even if they aren’t pinching a major nerve. A good orthopedic team connects the dots. They should see that my hip arthritis is causing a limp, which alters my posture, which then irritates the torn disc in my lower back. I ignored my discernment 1st appt

Doctor didn’t come in till about 45-50 minutes after my appointment time which isn’t too bad, but not close enough to my appointment time.
