Is your doctor referring you to a spine specialist at the hospital?

Is your doctor referring you to the hospital for an MRI?

What do you mean by saying "my spine does not curve at tail?

Can't give you an idea of what treatment would be without a diagnosis.

You need to see a spine specialist and have an MRI done.

Hopefully that is why your doctor has referred you to the hospital.

Good luck
