Well, the gal called me back just a bit after I posted, but already hit the road, and I was slated for another doc to check things out while my doc is away, just that things weren't organized well enough when I called.

New doc (from a different location) got my file and promptly went thru it. Good news is they did not find anything they were looking for so the 3 nasty things (tumors, cancer and spinal degeneration) are eliminated grin MRI was clean as a whistle except it showed a bit of spinal arthritis, which this doc said could possibly be the culprit. I have an appointment with him next week to move forward and find out what's up.

Yeah, this stuff going thru your mind kinda mess ya up a bit, but am more relieved now that it may be something easier to fix.

Thanks a bunch for all your support, it is very much appreciated!!!
