Thanks again for your reply. I just got a new family doctor so he's just catching up on things. My neurologist saw me twice, noticed I had a mild tremor and other symptoms. He was more focused on some brain MRI findings, I asked him to send me for a full spinal MRI. He cut me loose in a nice way mentioning that he could only provide 2 specialist appts. I wanted a second opinion since early June. Was wanting another orthopedic surgeon or neurosurgeon who are more familiar with movement disorders and cauda Equina surgery.

I've been wanting to go to Toronto Western shortly after my surgery.

The neurologist that just closed the file recommended a pain clinic to deal with chronic issues. I wanted him to send me for a second opinion or to assist me into getting into a short term stay in a rehab centre to get me back on my feet. I am open to pain clinic mgmt but would really like to speak to someone before I mask with pain killers. I'm hoping there's a way to perhaps undo or improve through second opinion.
