How to know when it is time...

Unfortunately, you are the only one who can answer that question.

And any doctor who cannot start to help you without an MRI first is a dunderhead. Tell him you can't afford the copay on a $3,000-$5,000 MRI.

A D.O. has a huge pile of skills to call on before flinging MRIs around. I doubt you'd have a problem getting help from him.

Thanks Knotted, I had wondered about that, this is the first D.O. that I've had as my PCP.

I think I will give it another week before picking up the phone. I have just been so frustrated with this since yesterday...
