Do youself a big Favor and talk to a Lawyer right now... I wish I would have chatted with a lawyer the first day I was injured... over 4 years later and I am still having problems, but the Docs all say I am fine.... Yet they also state that I have met my MMI( Maximum Medical Improvement ) Meaning I will not get any better...

When the Docs probe and poke, they call it Palpation All doctors use it as a way to find out whats wrong based on how much pain in what area they poke and prod.
Think of it like car problems. If something goes wrong that you have seen before many times, you know what the problem is based on a certain noise or squeel and fix it, I guess the doctors like to use their hands allot
Hope ya feel beter though, back pain SUX!! Heck, ANY pain sux!!

I would hate to have to go through all of that. I don't do pain well. I am good at causing pain but not getting pain.
I hope you get this resolved and feel better soon.

You forgot one thing about doctors- what they do is called "practice medicine" so that proves they ain't too good at it yet. Maybe when they practice enough they will stop poking and prodding you.
