Hi! I am no doctor but in my point of view no doctor could tell you anything just by listening to other diagnosis and your symptoms. You can be diagnosed only by having a look at the screening tests but that seems hard too in your case.
I am very sorry that you are in so much pain and so much trouble. I am just not sure if you could get these two doctors together unless you are paying big time or something like that. Maybe you should ask for a third opinion and bring all your screening tests and a medical history to a third doctor/neurosurgeon, see what s/he has to say about it and then if the diagnosis match, you may choose. This is just me thinking, I suppose I would go mad from the whole mess as well and I can understand how you are feeling.
I hope you will get some relief soon! Best of luck! Lori |
