Left you a voice mail but just in case:

We just came from the orthopedic surgeons office,  recommended by our Primary Care physician.  Have had the MRI and multiple xrays.  Started out at a chiropractor’s office.   Now this doctor recommends hip replacement surgery, which we do NOT want to do - but Gary’s in a lot of pain.  Also recommends spinal fusion later on (!!!!).   Gary got a cortisone shot today.   I got online looking for alternatives and found your site.   Thank you so much.  Please call me (Diane - wife).  707-486-6523.
