Hi Jo - yes it's me. Lady Parrot. I found an old thread where I was chatting with DiMarie. I just don't recall my password and I'm fairly certain my email has changed, since Comcast bought out Adelphia since then.

The Doctor sticky was the first place I went. Hasnt changed since I was here before. Dr Togut, who dx'd me and helped with WC & SSD has retired (I traveled 7 hrs one way to see him. What a God send he was for me. Dr Gupta and Dr Rhee are both thoracic surgeons - I'm not interested in seeing any surgeon.

No offense to anyone who has had surgery and it worked out for them. I'm happy for you. But at my age and being bilateral, that's just not anything I would consider. Since I quit working, I've been managing pretty good with meds & my own exercises, etc. I just cannot believe that in a city the size of Pittsburgh it is so difficult to find a Dr that understands TOS and can offer more than just a surgical referal or lidocaine injection.
