Wendy: I do agree with the others on this one. You cannot sit back and wait to get an apt. The best pace to start is with a good pain clinic or a good neuro Dr. If you have a good GP and you trust him or her,they are a very big help in getting you in early to see the above DR's. You cannot crawl around on your knees all day and night! Also how can you stand to be in that much pain? I do not care what the Dr said he is not living your life or fealing the pain that you are in right now! Life is not always based on the answers we receive,but also on the questions that we ask. Take Care! Fight For All Of Us! We Are Here For You! Breezy55
