Thanks Jo,

Im going to mention that to my Dr about the smaller nerves and see what he says as no one has mentioned it from that point of view before....

Think im probably not going to look at all the websites too much - or at least take them with a pinch of salt!.

I have limited myself to the activities i can do...its hard though to explain to people that i have to come home from work to rest before i can go anywhere else - if i dont rest then i end up in pain....they think im an old person at 26 yrs old! I feel like people dont understand why i cant carry things etc and think im just lazy or exagerrating my pain...its so fustrating!

im going to post another thread about MRA's - i had one almost 2 weeks ago and if it comes back negative i want to know if its worth me pushing for another test - ie, doppler...
