Looks like u had your last surgery in Canada did your insurance end up paying for it?
Best wishes w your new job and pain mgmt. Let me know if u find med w/o altering your mental state, as I too would like some what of a normal life back!

Hi Rhonda,
Thank you for the kind wishes. Yes, I am originally from Canada. I had my symptoms for about a year before my first surgery. I had an injury but from lifting weights. My long thoracic nerve has healed according to my last EMG in Canada, but I have had EMGs done incorrectly in the past so I am not so quick to trust the results. I did have my last surgery in Canada and yes because I am Canadian, it was fully covered. I received a message from toslady and recently answered some of her questions as well. I hope this helps!
