Hi Juliek~I'm a new member too and just wanted to say hello. Glad you found a pm doc that you like. I have an appt. with a new one on 9/8. My first one seemed to only do procedures (nerve blocks, did 3; SCS no way right now.) I want someone that will discuss other options. I am in PT since June (pool and land) and I wish you as much success with it as I have had. Not easy, but I'm so much stronger now. Good luck!
