We had an enlightening day ,we first met the neurosurgeon that will be doing the lumbar puncture to remove excess fluid that was seen on the mri.After a few days she should show more movement if no improvement a follow up procedure which is a little more invasive to keep removing the fluid ,The surgeon said we should be able to to get it done by the end of the month.We then met an neurologist that works with the neurosurgeon and told him what my wife’s neurologist treatment were and he was really skeptical of her diagnosis by the MRI alone no DaT scan or a skin sample that is highly accurate for diagnosing PD which he is setting up for my wife .Then we met the Physical Therapist and spent an hour working showing and explaining why her neck is hunched over and what is causing some of her inability . The PT questioned the orthopedic surgeon response theirs nothing can be done I noticed a slight improvement of my wife’s neck tonight after only an hour with this PT. He not only touched on the physical but also how important the mental aspects of physical therapy. All in all I. got more positive information and hope this morning than the last 20 years dealing with with PD . You have to have the right people in your corner .
