Pretty sure this was a specialist but I could be wrong.

If it was a specialist, it may have been one that isn't as good. Someone once told me, some Drs graduate with an A+ and some graduate with a C. Some love their work and put in lots of effort..... Soon just don't.

Wish we'd know which is the best one before we wait several weeks for an appointment only to be disappointed.

Old joke. What do you call the medical student who finishes last in his class?

Answer? Doctor

Now isn't that scary but true?

That doesn't sound right. Were you at the primary care (PCP) Dr? Because a PCP doesn't specialize in bones and nerves. Was he going to refer you to an orthopedist or neurologist? You should be going to a specialist because they know the latest treatments available. I wouldn't stop there... Id ask to be referred to a specialist. For you it may be more then one specialist. At least find out what other treatments are available

He was an Ortho specialist. The ones near me wouldn't take my insurance

Good or bad, you decide. Specialist said there's nothing he can do.

Sorry, Blue girl, but I had to laugh. Today we are Asian Beetle free! Yay! I was prepared to spray them into Hades but the showers and the chilly weather has knocked them back before I could.

But I'm ready for the little blighters should they show up again!

They are just such totally disgusting things and think, the USDA released them to contain nuisance insects like mites.

Wish I could gather them up and ship them to Washington where they will be at home with the rest of the blood suckers there.

Lol

No cold wx on the horizon for us. Maybe a sprinkle or two, Friday or Saturday. It was 80 here today.
