If I prayed, I would. Your definately in my thoughts if thats any consolation. Tragic things happen as I have come to realize, just two weeks ago a friend of mine (not to mention someone who works next door to me) was robbed and murdered at her store. She was a pretty little girl (I say little, she was 25) who was suffocated for some Ps3's. Im not trying to make this some sob story about my experiences, just trying to let you know that theres worse that could happen. besides your living some peoples dream, mine included: sitting in bed all day and doing nothing. Thats awesome! I realize its a bit different if you have to but I strive for that everyday as I dream about my retirement. But for now, after seeing all the kind things people did for my friend and how happy that made me, my thoughts is where you shall reside. :joy:

I hear you, I am going through the same thing except I have one crushed disk. It hurts pretty bad and I know you are in pain. My prayers are with you and good luck. Just think, once it's all over, you will be just like new again.

Wow ! You got my prayers for your speedy recovery. One question though that's bothering me ... You say this happened a year ago and was wondering : When the accident first happened, did your doctor order x-rays or an MRI then ? if not and it's now you've found out what the extent of your injuries from the horse feel on you.; you have a strong case for a malpractice suit against your doctor for mis-diagnosis.
I wish the best of luck and a speedy recovery. Keep us posted.

A lawsuit is something to think about. After all, since you have seen him several times and he never ordered an x-ray or MRI ... At least owe it for yourself & your family for all the pain and suffering you've been through.

I know what you are going through. My son had an ATV accident and his doctor was the same way. He finally switched doctors and they ordered the MRI. Problems almost the same as yours. I think they don't order the tests because the insurance companies don't want them to. Unless you've have back problems that serious or know someone that has, you can't understand how bad it is. Good luck with your surgery.

Find another doctor who is at least open to the idea of surgery
