Default Back from Denver

I saw Dr. Sanders yesterday - what a great doc! He spent about two hours with me, talking and testing. He gave me a pec minor block and ALL pain disappeared - first time in almost 4 years. I couldn't believe it! Dr. Machanic's testing verified the diagnosis of pec minor syndrome, and as soon as I figure out the details I'm going to schedule surgery in Denver - hopefully in April.

Dr. Sanders thinks the pec minor tenotomy will take care of all my symptoms, but if not, I can have the elbow redo later. He says I shouldn't worry about losing any hand function yet as there is no sign of that. I'm kind of confused about why my muscles are fine, and my grip strenght is good, yet I have trouble opening jars, writing and sometimes playing piano. Must just be from the nerve entrapment?

Anyway, I'm so happy that I paid attention to y'all who told me to go to the best!
