Well at the very least you should get him to get you the X-Ray films needed for a consult with ADR specialists, e.g. Texas Back Institute. Then you can get these sent on to Clavel etc.
Sorry this is such as mess for follow-up for you. Have you combed the forums for Buffalo patients? There may be someone on here who has a committed doctor...
