I felt he was a little "flip" about some things. I would imagine because he deals with this stuff daily. He said I was a candidate for surgery and they would get the paperwork going for that. I was confused on some portions of the questions he asked. He asked if I had upper back aches, neck aches, sore throat, cough, etc. I said no only to call back when I got home and tell him yes, I had all those i guess I was just a little nervous and this was my new normal. His nurse told me that these would not be symptoms from the cysts??? i was shocked and didn't say anything but then why would he ask me if i had those symptoms. I of course, went to the foundation and found that neck pain is a symptom. I am somewhat confused and stressed
the neck pain and pain between my shoulders & into my upper arms is horrible today which is scary because this has escalated quite quickly. Did you have upper body issues?
