i am going for an mri of lumbar region this thursday. i have an apt. with a local neurologist next wed. and his receptionist said he wants a full 45 minutes with me. could this mean i could finally be getting a full neuro workup? about time. hope he will listen instead of brushing me off. i'm finally getting some periods of relief from stiffness, numbness and aching. i'll take it no matter how small the periods are.
