There you go! You keep that fighting spirit.

I know it gets tedious looking for a doctor but if the ones you have aren't helping then move on. The degree of function loss should be setting off alarms not apathy. And pain should be treated not accepted if possible. Definitely demand more from your doctors.

It may be worth looking at a rehab outpatient or inpatient program. The admissions people could let you know. It's their job to determine if patients are a good fit for their program. I am really surprised your wait has been so long on the other program you were on the list for. Ugh.

I think checking into the NS at Northwestern is a good idea too. It's just information and the Peripheral Nerve specialists like mine have a different approach and even different diagnostics.

Remember my mantra to 'start low, go slow'. If you start at two minutes on the bike and build to five that's just fine.

I you too.
