First appointment
Well it was very interesting. This doctor looks a little like Harpo Marks. Very out spoken about his treatments and he doesn't care if other doctors think he is a quack. He said he sees results. So anyway. He looked at my old xray and took a new one. He did an examination and at first glance he suspects some raynauds disease because I'm more effected by cold, but I doubt this. He suggested a more complete nerve conduction type test that is not covered by insurrance. So I am going to do it for $300.00. after that test he is going to have his nurse wrap my right foot in some special way, and then if I can handle it keep it that way for a day and excersise on it. He was very positive and seemed to want to try some things out before even getting to that nerve block proceedure. He said I may not even need it. It was a long session and I wish I could relay more but it was too complicated. I told him I would be logging this on this site and he laughed and said,"so you're going to make me famous". We'll see. He believes in considering the whole body when treating people. (not in a new age sense) He also said he was involvled with a group of medical professionals who deal with pain management I'm not sure what he called them. Sorry this is so vague but as I continue and get more info I will post it. Nerve test is next week. Oh and he wants me to try to stop drinking coffee, BOOOOOOO!
