I kinda do agree with @awakentolife. So sorry I haven't been tuned in to what's happening, @fatpandadesign ... I'm not sure how many doctors or medical/traditional medicine practitioners you have seen, but if you care to check out another, I have here - Dr Alsagoff whom I met when I suffered a slipped disc years ago. Not a major condition but a lifelong one - but he recommended no surgery for my condition (just management through nerve-strengthening exercises and some meds - currently I'm only on vit. Bs) which is why I think he might be a good doctor to talk and seek consultation with before deciding next steps. My prayers are with you to overcome this hurdle, bro...
