Don't know your history or type of injury, severety, etc....If you fully exsplain your situation I'd bet someone on this board might be able to walk ya thru what to exspect, etc...P.S. Being terrified only makes things worse...Be strong....things will work out...your not alone..

Impossible only describes a problem that needs viewed from a different perspective

Hang in there man. I am only 6 months into this sci and I wake up with different aches,pains and all kinds of sensations. Be strong and get pissed off and fight hard. Thats what people tell me and it does help. Hope you feel better.

I would look at it as a GOOD THING if I was you. Reason being; your dentist handles nothing but the mouth, an E.N.T.Dr. is just that Ears Nose & Throat.....these are just the Dr.s who specialize in all things to do with the spine. Most GPs are just like mine just not honest enough to admit to it.....my Dr.'s own words "We're a jack of all trades masters of none....we can take care of MOST things but not all.....that's when we call & book you an appointment with THE MASTER". :mfrlol: I like my doc a LOT....he's a good Dr. with a great bedside manner, actually gives a crap about the QUALITY of life I & others have and he's even got a sense of humor. :icecream:
