My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

Your general practitioner MD has no clue what to do about backs. Go find a physiatry specialist, no need for a referral unless you're on an HMO. They're the most knowledgeable MDs (not chiropractors) for spine problems. The professional sports teams use them. They'll definitely do an MRI first and then prescribe PT. Next would be cortisone injections, and their last resort is surgery.
