Hi Chris
Yes, it has been a while since I've been on this site.
Lots of health issues going on.
Last year I was diagnosed with lung cancer (stage 1).
I had a nodule removed and the lymph nodes attached to it.
Thank God I didn't need any other treatments!
I'll get checked every 6 months.
Dealing with that took a lot out of me emotionally!!!!

Now I am back to dealing with my back.
I've been doing really well since surgery, as far as pain.
I've been concerned with my lack of leg strength so I went to see a new neurologist.
Among other things, he wanted me to go for PT.
I did and they screwed up my back and NOW I have pain.
I've stopped PT!!!!
The new doc also wanted MRIs, but based on his request, insurance turned him down.
I went to my neurosurgeon and they were turned down, too.
Only difference is that they fought for it and won!
So, we'll see.
I hope it will also answer some questions about the neuropathy!

Talk soon!
Ronnie
