Hi welcome though sorry for your struggles. I agree this is a warm and informative community.
You said you have a 3 month wait for a neuro which I know is often the case but what I do is ask to be put on a cancel list. Then I call everyday to see if there is one. I have gotten into appointments months early doing that.
I am confused as they stated there was a tear but how was that dx and did you do something prior for that to happen? Did they run some blood work?
