I still think in a lot of cases, if they'd just acknowledge that its inflammatory in nature and treat the inflammation, that would be a start. I don't think you have to nail it exactly to start treating the inflammation. could save a lot of pain and suffering waiting for things to get to the point of fusion (if it ever comes). pain and inflammation should be enough to treat. some doctors at least feel that way; thank goodness.
