Ok hurt my back really bad at work, two weeks ago. 100% sure i have either a herniated or ruptured Disc. (Been through this with my husband) Problem is it's under workers comp and Dr is refusing to do an MRI or give any type of pain mess. They have me on NSAID, Steroids and Muscle Relaxers and PT 3x a week. I'm miserable. I have to have help to the bathroom. I don't know what to do.

Well I know you've been through this with your husband but you can't be 100% sure until you have an MRI and see it. You could feel pretty confident that that's what it is and I think that's what you mean. I am sure it's very frustrating to work with workers compensation I'm glad I never had to but I'm afraid you're going to have to play their little reindeer games. And what they're doing is the protocol which is to start out small and work the way up the ladder. Just be careful with those NSAIDS. They will mess up your stomach so bad.
