Hi there i've been struggling with spinal compression pain for 13yrs for 2yrs its crippling me from working x ray show l5 s1 no spine coushin should i go to a rhuemologist or other specialists?

Spine pain: I recommend an evaluation by a neurosurgeon. If you've had an MRI, bring the disc with you. The issues to be discussed are pain management, epidural corticosteroid injections, physical therapy or spinal surgery. In my opinion, this situation is not in a rheumatologist's area of expertise.
