Yeah, don't wait hoping it will just "go away". Some problems can be corrected early, but over time can be come permenant. This coming from a 38 yr. old that has had two back surgeries and appx 25 LESI's (lumbar epidural steroid injections). I waited, waited, waited, then had all the therapies, myleograms, about a dozen MRI's, neurostimulator, etc. It sucks balls. Get your A$$ to the DR!!
