"Any fool knows men and women think differently at times, but the biggest difference is this. Men forget, but never forgive; women forgive, but never forget."— Robert Jordan

Going around in circles

Summary of the doctors' diagnosis of my back problems:

You have a torn disk.

No! It's not a tear at all, it's just the natural progression of age...
No, it's muscular...
No, maybe it's facet syndrome...
No, it's not facet syndrome...
Nope, we looked at the original MRI again, and...

You have a torn disk!

Notice a pattern here? GAAH!! I've had 6 months of nerve tests, MRI, X-Rays, physical therapy twice a week, facet injections & cortisone injections, only to find out it's exactly what my primary care doctor diagnosed 3 months ago!!

Can you tell I'm just a wee bit frustrated?
