So glad your doc is nice

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Runner,
I saw my Dr. on Mon. to go over all my weird MRI's. He was not so understanding and wanted me to clear up all the strange suggestions before he looked at me. (keep going to more docs) Not so much understanding. I really wanted more warm and fuzzy. I am so sorry for your sciatica and tingling, it can be a real drag. I tried to ask about facet problems and other issues but really went no where. I cried, that didn't work either. I am afraid that someday I may have to be fused. I have not given up but it is late and just read your post. I will write when I am not so tired. Keep searching for the answers we have to be our own advocates. Pain just wears you down. I am taking 3600 mgm of nuerontin. Pretty maxed out and when it wears off i know it. Does your doctor have any answers? Will he do more testing? Keep in touch. Thanks for the info on the mylograms.
Phylly
