Two years ago I had an xray of my lower back and the doctor told me it showed arthritis. I recently had an MRI of my lower back and he said I had degenterative disc disease and had me start physical therapy. He never sent the MRI reports to the facility so I went and got them aftr I had already ben there 4 visits. The xray showed several things wrong from bone spurs, old fractures, calcifications in kidney pole and several other things he never mentioned to me. The MRI showed there was also a bulging disc which he didn't mention so the treatment I was getting had to be changed when the PT Facility seen the results. I realize I should find another doctor, that is obvious but my question is...What kind of doctor should I go to? There are so many to choose from..DO MD Internist. I need someon that I can get old with. I hate changing doctors but I need someone that tells me what is wrong.	1 Replies
