Hi Beth. Sorry about the hand/finger thingy.

Mine try to do that too but so far it hasn't been a problem,
Too bad about your Doc and LDN...that's Ohio for you...pfft!! My LDN Doc is an, outside the box thinker, MD, in Pennsylvania. I do a every four month phone appt with him and he prescribes my LDN for 4 months at a time.
If you want his number, I'll PM it to you and you can give him a call to make an appt.

My PCP knows I am on it and where I get it. He prefers it that way, since he doesn't know too much about it.
Good luck with your brace. I hope it helps.
