My situation may be different as for the cause. Bachsmom, did you sustain any injuries before all this happened?
Hi @bachsmom Keep going and don't give up. there are so many inspiring stories on here where someone has gone through the mill like you, but persevered. I had the same issue, many many years of test and nothing. I began to feel the consultants thought it was in my head, even I questioned myself, but I knew it couldn't be because it was just too painful. I even got to the final stage with the consultants whereby they were going to discharge me back to my primary and have the pain specialist fit a spinal chord stimulator. If I would have agreed I would have never found out I had MALs. I turned down the offer telling them I wanted to exhaust every possible avenue.
I understand your urgency, I would give @dave06351 a message, an earlier post he mentioned he has actually spoken to Dr Hsu from Connecticut and could probably guide you further. Maybe @dave06351 could give us a brief on what Dr Hsu said and an update on his condition.
All the best,
Mark
