Yes this doctor was from the Swedish Medical Center and I was so surprised about what he had said.
My sysmptoms are getting worse with more weakness where It's getting very difficult to walk period. I already went to a Urologist and he said it's 100% back related. I'm not looking to be perfect just good enough that when my daughter is all grown up she can look back and remember me being with her lot lying in bed with pain and missing out on her life.
I have two more appt in colorado and if these do not pan out it looks as if I will have to look outside of colorado. I'm scared the longer I wait and the worst it gets the more likly it will stay that way.
Does anyone have suggestiong for doctors outside of colorado?
thanks Kevin

Was this the doctor at the Swedish medical center in Denver?
Can you go outside of Colorado if you can't the right doctor there? I know the orthopedic physicians I see, consult with patients over several states before even arranging a visit. I overhead the receptionist last week calling another surgeon's office to arrange an MRI be sent to them as the doctor who looked at the patient's MRI felt this other surgeon had better experience for the problem. The patient was from Alaska and hadn't been seen by either surgeon yet. This impressed me.
