@chas93 No doctor I, but I was getting to the point of not being able to grasp things, or lift heavy, slippery stuff, or other stuff. Long story short - went to a physical therapist and am getting the help I need. You will need an order from your doctor for insurance to cover, and your doctor will also know if this is a safe activity for you. Well worth a try, please?

I went for 2 months I didn’t help but my dr wants me to try a different physical therapist and see if that works. I want to find someone that will try the nerve block so I can do physical therapy even that is hard on me to do I just feel weak and tired and just not myself anymore I have had these issues for 4 years and I feel like it is really starting to take a toll on my body and every like 6 months I get really sick with 106 temp and horrible stomach pains I don’t know if it is related to the blunt force trauma to the stomach that cause the spine to fracture from the inside because the right colon has asciatic fluid and wall thickening and usually with those injuries you have a internal injury also and I was never told from a dr about some of my diagnoses I went and got my car scans and mri scams on my own cause I felt like not everything was adding up and I have had interest in the Mayo Clinic but I live so far away from there. I know there is someone that can help me just don’t know how to get there?

I feel like all of my mucsles and joints are locked up and it’s extremely hard for me to get going especially in the mornings.
