Thank you so much... you have shared great information. My appointment is a couple of weeks out. I know I am going to get a second opinion like I did with my Lumbar surgeries.

What you mention about not being understood rings home with me. I currently have neuropathy in my left leg and foot. Because of that when I would have balance issues it would just be related to that and kind of ignored. I also have Type2 Diabetes and I have been told it is related to that. Although I am proud to say, that sine 2010 I have lost 105 pounds so I am now under 170 pounds and my Diabetes is well under control. I also have an essential tremor in my hands, right is worse than left, so when I would mention to the doctor that I have a hard time gripping things and I also drop things, it was just related back to that. The shoulder issues I have had for years and the pain was related to just rotator cuff issues which I have. In fact I just had shoulder surgery for my left shoulder. It was that surgeon who told me I needed to have another MRI on my cervical spine because he told me that during surgery it was almost impossible to turn my head.

I will post as I learn more information... everyone on here is so kind!
