Thanks for your kind words. i was already to seek another opinion from someone i saw last year. Then i received a long email from my pulmonologist. He told me that the neurosurgeon called him and told him he did not think he could help me . I have had the VATS and lung surgery in through my chest and there is more than llikely lots of scar tissue in there. Everything would be healed and the nerve most likely really embedded in it all, so to try to decompress it at this late time would probably do more damage than good. It helped me put the fixing it to rest although i am still very upset. no one would listen to me last year when i said it had to be the nerve. DrRegan kept saying nothing happened (immediately after he removed the disc at T7-8 he had problems with me breathing!) If he had been man enough to help me figure it out after it happened, maybe then it could have been repaired. Now it just makes me madder at him.
Thanks for letting me vent, i'll stop now!!
thanks again
judy
