Yes, I'm not sure I'm spelling it right. She said, he will make sure its not anything else. ANd this makes me happy too. I was reading up on this
kind of doctor. And I like what I see. It will rule out lots of things.

I kind of wish she had sent me to him sooner. But she hadn't put the
pieces together yet. And I have a appointment on Monday with
my orthopaedic to have my shoulder rechecked.

Its just not getting that much better.

I hope he/she helps.

At my pain doc office we have one there. He is pretty good. Right now I don't see him so much because he is learning how to do other methods that the other docs use, such as trigger point injections.

Good Luck.....I hope you get some relief!

Have to admit I've been kind of on medical leave. Couldn't handle the work
and not being able to talk. But going back to trying work next week.

I like this guy. He says all my problems are fibromyalgia, because of my
kids problems.
