@pp27va You are very welcome. If you see Dr. Sems, I think you will like him. He is an excellent surgeon and was recommended to me by another surgeon at Mayo. (I had spine surgery at Mayo, and after I broke my ankle, I asked my neurosurgeon for a recommendation.) I also wanted to let you know for your own security, it's best not to share any personal information on a public post. You can use private messages. If you are unable to edit your post (by clicking on the 3 dots at the bottom right), I can ask the moderators to remove your information.
