I think that I am lucky to have found Dr. CGL. Today was my second second-opinion. Dr. Krunch.
I completed Krunch's paperwork via email. Very professional. But the office was a little odd. He shares it with a tattoo removal technician. Interesting. He had me take some X-rays, with some different angles than I have taken previously. Also interesting.
The first thing he says when he walks into the room is "So, your doctors probably told you that this is how it's going to be, your new normal." I was totally taken aback. Kind of derailed, I tried to explain where I am in my "spine journey".
First he said that I could not have an SI joint problem because the SI joint does not move.
Then he said that the problem was that the bone had not grown at all in my L4/L5 fusion, the fusion didn't take. I need a revision. He would like to go in and "pack material all around the fusion site and hope that something grows".
OK then. Once again, second opinions haven't been very helpful.
