WOW! What a biography of pain. Hopefully TMS will be the last "alternative" medicine you will need. Your past practitioners, docs, chiroquacters, PT's, naturos, and other assorted white-coats and voo-doo docs, are riddled with contradictory DX's. $22,000 cash for surgery out of pocket--WOW!--some ortho needed a new Prius. I've never heard of JDD. How did you pay for all this?
