Newbie at Mayo Clinic (Rochester, Neurology)

Posted by db1099 @db1099, 3 days ago

Hello to everyone, brand new patient here. Coming into Rochester on Monday trying to get some answers: left leg weakness about 4 months now along with a huge distended belly and numbness and weakness around middle and back. So far mris only show a bad l5 s1 disc. Local doctors have no idea what’s going on but I’ve gotten much worse in last couple months. Very terrified about coming here; at same time happy to have a chance to be seen here by the best, go figure. Anyway best to all glad to have a place to vent.

Sorry to hijack this thread. Im a foreigner considering seeking treatment at Mayo. Just how foreigner friendly is Mayo to foreign patients in reality? Is it common there?

It is very common to see patients from other countries at Mayo. They have technology for translation for those who do not speak English.
