Sorry about that: Hi, i am sorry to hear that you cannot afford the orthopedist. It seems important that you see one. You apparently can afford the "chiro". I would recommend that you forgo your next appointment with him or her and see the do or md spine specialist. Your time and money will be well spent getting that expert opinion and advice. Best of luck...
