*sigh* If you can spare some T&P
Most of you remember the car accident I was in a while ago and the back issues that ensued after ward. After seeing several doctors and doing several different treatments, I thought it was under control. It's now getting worse. My toes were tingling but I thought it was because I was on my feet all day, which I wasn't used to. But then started the reflex issues, dropping things, can't grip things all the way, spacing on simple tasks, etc. Yesterday, the tingling in my arms came back, I woke up this morning and it's my whole left arm. I thought maybe I slept wrong but I've been up and going for a few hours now and it hasn't dissipated.
So here I sit, looking through DH's insurance, later I'll dig out my CD from my last MRI and x-rays and find out my next course of action. Probably a regular doctor then another neurosurgeon. DH is aware and if I get any worse we'll consider urgent care.
So, any thoughts, vibes, juju, prayers you can spare would be awesome.

Oh S, I'm so sorry this is happening. Big hugs and many prayers.
I'm sorry BLT
Definite T&P!
This may sound obvious, but find a doctor that does a COMPLETE physical exam. I mean that measures your spine, actually looks at you (in your underwear) from a posterior and anterior view, measures if there are any leg and/or arm length discrepancies, checks your reflexes, has you do different neurological tests (very easy such as balancing, finger tests, etc.).
It sounds simple, but the doctor I work for does this with every new patient and at least 2-3 patients a week he finds a neurological consult candidate because no one has done a complete exam and they all think it's musculoskeletal issues.
Photo bomb, yeah!
T&Ps are with you. I hope you find a specialist who can figure out what's going on.

This!
I hope you start feeling better.
It got slightly better, tingling has gotten intermittent, it seems to get better when I'm up and moving. So I've been resting but when I start to feel it, I get up and move. I really don't think it's enough for me to go to the ER but I promise if it gets bad then I will. I have to call DH's insurance tomorrow for a list of approved doctors. Their silly website has been getting maintenance all weekend.

this! hope things are okay!
