There is a pt that studied with Ando and she is on the CFMT list. This is the list where they seem to understand rib mobilization. She is in Malibu and Century City. I spoke to her on the phone once. Her name is Leslie Rudzinski. If I go back to pt I was planning on trying her, Li-Der Chan (have you heard anything about him/) and Karen Joubert in Bev Hills. My husband went to her once and thinks she is a genious. She is on the old TOS list.
Right now I have bigger fish to fry and am seeming to do better without the pt. I want to try more massage. Do you have any dr's or pt's to recommend? Who is your main Dr?
Thanks JKL

Thank you. I will get those other names to WC and see if they will cover any of the PTs. I wish I could get a prescription for straight massage, it seems to be one of the best ways to reduce some of the pain.
My main dr is Gelabert. He is the only person I saw when I was first diagnosed 4+ years ago. I was going through so much stuff in my personal life, it never occurred to me to look at any other options. Now that I am through WC for the recurrence, he is my primary on the case. I really like him though, he explains everything you ask and seems more responsive than most doctors. Or at least his assistant is.
I am going to Dr. Bloze at SCOI to get my EMG/SSEP done again. Was supposed to have it today but there was an issue with the WC authorization. She is the one that initially sent me to Gelabert with a possible TOS diagnosis. Once we do that, I'll have a better idea of next steps.
