Hello there. Please send me a Pm and I will discuss with you.

And,sometimes we don’t have a choice. I know something is not right. I should not be in this much pain all day every day.

I just wish it was that easy.
I’m gonna have to see someone soon because my hands are numb and tingly now..why I’m dropping so many things.

Susan, I have a call into speak with Dr Lenke, or at least a request.dr Lenke requested I send him a ct and bone scan then I get to,she doesn’t want to see me. Sounds kinda wonky to me!

Thank you Ed. I enjoyed our talk and appreciated your information. I will definitely keep you posted. Came home from work at 10am with severe pain and muscle spasms, breathing problems... not fun!...
