“This doctor had horrible bedside...”
This doctor had horrible bedside manner. He came into the room with a scribe and didn't introduce subscribe. So this random man was standing in the corner on his computer. He also completed their visit with the door open. He had a very dismissive attitude and couldn't give me any insight into my issue. He called my x-rays unremarkable and said he didn't see anything. Although my Doctor Who ordered the x-rays told me I had a grade 2 condition. I told him the situation was getting worse since the x-ray and he didn't offer any new x-ray. He offered a drug that I had already taken and told me to exercise although I told him exercising was painful. He said well you have to exercise. I basically had to back for a solution and offered an MRI. Then threw his hands up and left.

“MD told me there was nothing he ...”
MD told me there was nothing he could do for me. That I just had to live with it. He asked me if I ever had injections in my back, Or physical therapy. I told him yes, both did not work. MD told me Bone Deterioration was from getting old. That there was nothing he could do for me. I am very disappointed with him.
