Answer
Nina,
I am not exactly sure what you are asking, but I will say that you should have your problem evaluated by someone that you believe in.  They should be someone who is talking about helping you to get well in a conservative manner, without Harmful Drugs or Surgery.  Starting out conservative is always a smart decision, you can always go the aggressive route later if necessary.  
If you would like help in choosing a great Doctor for you in your area, just send me your town and state and I will reply with a contact.
