[Let me know how the neurologist goes. I am glad you are going for the evaluation. If you can bring someone with you. The docs tend to take it more seriously when you have witness to what you are going through. I kept a pain journal, with complete discription of the pain with me also. That way I didn't forget anything. I sure will be thinking of you.

Also to all other back sufferers, I hope that you can find some good help so you can get back in the swing of life. Though mine was cervial in nature, I do not regret for one minute doing the surgery I did. ginnie
