Deb,

My heart really hurts for you. I have read all of you post as they come up and you are obviously very on top of you care, have some great doctors but something is not working. Atrophy means to me the muscles are not there anymore, so you would need to work those muscles to get it back. I can relate to the arms I have the same problem but it's easiers to type then to write with a pen. Have you ever thought of seeing a physicatrist? A pyhsicatrist is a ortho. doctor that deals with non-surgerical treatments. I will check the spelling and get a name and more of a defination after I post.

The spelling is "Physiatry". There's a doctor out of HSS Dr. Rock Positano. Check the site out you never know.
