Dale, i'd say none, just visual and " hearing what he had to say about the pain" if they did listen to him at all! They just prescribed some pain killers that did not even work and he took upon himself to meet a physiotherapist who gave him exercises to do but it still doesn't work or just barely,

He event went in the emergency room and waited long hours to obtain a appointment for surgery but it could take a very long time before he makes it there, he said it happened after lifting some filled with sand pails(sp?) buckets anyways, while helping friends building something last winter in Florida at their Homestead campground, it probably is just a twisted nerve but i wish someone would have sent him to take one of those tests where you see evrything...

If it was me I'd push for a neurologist. That's the man that will be able to tell you what's going on and where. Sometimes you have to be very persistant with these folks. I actually got down right rude to get the attention I deserved. Our prayers are with ya brother,take care.

Thank you Dale, will tell my Dad about the neurologist, i'm thinking taking some time off the day job and go with him to shake some cages, i will keep you updated on this, things will have to go much faster than what we have experienced so far.
