Skip went to the Dr today. I really didn't hear a whole lot on what this Dr said,(we haven't seen each other much today) but he is now scheduled with a nuerologist for next Wed. He has degenerative disc disease. The 1st step is to control pain with medication, which we have done and doesn't work. Next is injections, which I assume will be hopefully started at this appointmnet on Wed. AIf that doesn't help then it's on to surgery! let's all hope and pray that the injections help and we don't have to go further! I have a bad feeling they won't, but I am trying to be positive. They also said he was very young to have it, but it has nothing to do with abusing the body, more of a genetic type thing. At least we have some answers at this point and know there is a plan of action.
