Lynette,

I want to welcome you to the forum and say how sorry I am for your circumstances and pain. While I know nothing that could benefit you, I have heard of misdiagnosis and how one things can and does lead to another.

Aside from you specialists, does your GP think that all these symptoms could stem from the Dynesys or other back condition?

I don't know if you've been following the forum at all but Dr. Baumbach in Germany is the absolute best diagnostition I've every heard about. If your circumstances allow you to travel to Germany, it would be in your best interest to see if and/or how your conditions are related. I'm sure Mark can arrange for you to see him.

If this isn't possible, I know waiting is difficult, especially when you're in pain, but that's one of the reasons why we all complain about today's health care system, whether here or there. I do wish you well and please keep us posted.

Dale
