and neither does the neurologist, but nevertheless she thinks I should meet with a neurosurgeon. I don't have MS or any other chronic disease. Whew! That was my biggest fear. What I do have is a protruding disc that is compressing my spinal cord. Because my cord is involved the neurologist wants me to consult a surgeon, but she doesn't think I will need surgery. She believes that he may prescribe physical therapy. I was hoping that she would do that but I think she would like me to have an opinion of a specialist. I thought she was one, but oh well. The saga and the numbness continues but at least I know that I will live! I have my good days and bad days so I guess I'll just try to revel in the good and tolerate the bad as best I can.

what a relief for you Tracy..although not totally fixed..i hope the physio does the trick. So glad to read this. Thinking of you.
Glad that it's not MS, and I hope the PT does the trick and not surgery. Keep plugging along, and I hope you get relief soon!
I'm so glad to hear this update, and I hope it's easily remedied (once you see the specialist).
