Update #2

The MRI results came back, and it was not what we were hoping for. It actually showed that both things had happened: he herniated his disc further and he fractured his vertebrae further, which is lodged in his nerve. We're trying now to research the best neurosurgeon around to do surgery on his back. He has an appointment with one on Monday here and another in Waxahachie on Tuesday. I'll keep you updated as we know anything. Please keep us in your prayers.

I am so sorry to hear this. I really hope he can have surgery soon and get back into life. I can't imagine the pain. My mom deals with burstitus and bulging discs...she is pain too much. I keep thinking she should look into surgery.

I'm sure you've already seen this website:

http://reg.tsbme.state.tx.us/OnLineVerif/Phys_SearchVerif.asp

It's the Texas State Board of Medical Examiners list of MDs, and you can search by city and specialty. It provides info on where they did their training, what they're certified in, and any complaints/disciplinary action that may have been filed against them.
