First of all I want to thank all of you. Its great to know that I have found a place where there are so many caring people that know exactly what I am going through. With all the advice and wisdom I have received I am going to find a second opinion. If anyone knows of a great pain management Dr. or a great neurologist in the minnesota or north dakota area we would deeply appreciate any names or suggestions. I am not ruling out finding the best combinations of medications. Trying hbot and anything else that is relatively noninvasive first. I'm not quite sure about a second round of epidurals. I figure if they really didn't work the first time ( with one of them being totally botched) I believe I learned my lesson there. We heard of a ketamine treatment but we are not sure what that involves. I am interested in the hydrotherapy and any personal stories on how anyone got into remission. I am blessed that I was diagnosed as quickly as I did and that the little demon is confined to my right leg. I cant even imagine what it would be like to have this through out my body. My wife and I will be praying for you all. Bless you all sincerely krank
