    I was seen by Dr. Zampini in [redacted] for a similar consultation. He didn't remember me, but perhaps that was because he doesn't have access to records from that long ago. As when I met with him in [redacted], he advised me that surgery would not be advisable in my case. This time he again spoke in a forthright manner and persuaded me that surgery would not be advisable because of the complexity of my spinal problems. He referred me for PT, and told me that I could call him if my pain becomes more severe, and he would give me a steroid injection. I will return to him in the future if it is warranted.

    My problem has been with dizziness and I have been told to get an MRI for my hearing loss in April, which I did, but they added a lumbar MRI. I have no idea why I had to have the lumbar MRI. It was proven that my spine is a little narrowing and therefore I should do some exercise and they're going to set me up for therapy. That's wonderful. But the overwhelming problems that I've had, especially with my dizziness and my ear being deaf has not been addressed.
