@jlharsh - absolutely, I am happy to keep you updated on my next steps and appreciate you sending the link. In fact today, I submitted a request to the Mayo Clinic to see if they will review my case. I was impressed with how quickly the process was started and all the emails I was receiving. I am hoping that after the team reviews, the reports I provided with all findings and imaging they are able to shed some light. I have been told that the mobility issues and decreased range in motion is not something anybody can guarantee me will change. With the exception of my physiotherapist and chiropractor who tell me to stay optimistic everyone else has just suggested I have been proactive and done everything I could and just need to accept that. The situation is what it is. I am currently in a frame of mind where I would like to explore what the new normal will look like and incorporate a couple of hours of work in a week to start which my employer is happy to work towards with me while understanding my limitations. I cannot complain from that stance as my work has been very understanding during this time. Well, I am trying to plan what that might look like and what I want my life to look like going forward, I still do not want to give up on finding answers. You said something that really stood out to me “It is an opportunity to regroup and decide what is most important. I realize I do not want to be the person that does it all. I want to be intentional and feel good about what I do decide to”. I can relate to this as I recently sent to my husband “I’m tired of being the people pleaser and trying to do it all and make everybody happy yet I’m not making myself happy. I want to live my life going forward to do what I want not what I think is expected of me by everybody else”. This has been a hard one to learn and I can tell you I’m still learning it, but I now do say no more so than ever before. Appreciate you @jlharsh.

I am writing to see how you are doing since creating this discussion, connecting with other members and finding your sisters-in-pain. You have had a lot on your plate since with efforts to manage your pain, regroup and prioritize, and seek a new avenue for care.

How are you feeling and how are your efforts helping? Have you heard more from Mayo Clinic?
