Just thought I would catch you helpful folks up on what has been happening.

My GP referred me to neurosurgeon (by the way he has a +5 rating from patients). He wants me to try 1 steroid injection and if it doesn't work we will proceed with surgery. He is already scheduling the surgery to get the ball rolling and he said he is just a little doubtful that the injection will help - but there is always that chance. He can cancel surgery if it works.

He said if I do have surgery it will be to clean up some of the junk that is impinging on my nerves and should have a pretty quick recovery rate unless the Fibro wants to exaggerate it. Recuperation time of about a month and a half or so.

He did also say that he can't promise that I may not need surgery down the road for some of the other issues that may or may not get worse.

Hope that makes sense. Have a wonderful day!!
