Akash, yes, I am in the US and I do have disability through my ex employer. The problem is I am very isolated and miss the social interaction and I also feel...useless. I also have too much time to worry about things which is not good for a person with a history of depression like me.

I am seeing a neurologist soon, that's what my surgeon wants me to do. I really hope they don't pump me with medications, that is the last thing I want. Hopefully my surgeon will let me do some PT soon so I can work on these muscle imbalances.

Acupuncture was not good for me, it triggered a big nerve flare.
