    Hello Dr. Towfigh,

    Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by. I was wondering if you could possibly recommend someone in my area that I may be able to go to. My zip code is 25414 if that helps. Also so you are saying that if I press my doctors for something it should be a dynamic ultra sound? I looked that up and it looks like I would have been asked to move during the ultrasound. I did not do anything like this during my ultrasound test that showed evidence of a hernia.

    Hello Katherine,

    Thanks for the response. At this point I am not really sure. I have seen many doctors and they are divided. Some of them think that I have an overly sensitized nervous system and that is the path to go down and others believe that I should pursue the hernia route.

    I will do some research on this doctor and maybe even give his office a call. As I mentioned my lower spine was damaged as a result of me being a breech birth. I have had pain as well as numbness in my lower back region since I can remember. However, none of the other symptoms were present until I experienced my injury. It is possible that I injured myself, sensitized the nerves in that area and that have never became unsensitized. That is what at least one doctor hypothesized so far.
