Please get a second opinion and a copy of your MRI on a disc that you can take with you. I am so sorry you are going through this. I do not understand why you are not being treated for pain and the inflammation. Also having to wait another month is punitive. I may be out of touch about time frames, but they should be having at least a phone consult to talk to you about your options.
I would also complain to someone about that nasty tech. I know it is an uncomfortable thing to do, but demand someone else and let them know why. My partner had a crappy radiation tech who decided she did not need to measure to make sure she hit the right area. He complained and they changed their tune real quick. Do you have a support group you can attend? Maybe get someone to be an advocate for you while you cope with this and someone who could talk to the doctor? Can I ask where you are?
