I've been wearing a cock up brace and a sling since last Sunday. No improvement, but it has not got worse either.
Are you in TV and if so who are you using for PT and neurologist? I see you have lived in Tampa so if you have good doctor's there traveling would not be a problem for me. Please keep me posted of what your doctor recommends. Perhaps, we will be having surgery together, lol.
Good luck to you and I hope you can get this resolved without surgery.

Thank you. I don't want surgery either!
Yes, I am a Villager. I think some of my recent problems are work-related. I still work part time as a paralegal performing a lot of repetitive keystroke motions on the computer. My neurologist is Jay Rubin, M.D., primarily from Ocala, but has a Summerfield office near the TV. He is board certified; he is good; I like him. My physical therapist is Ed, last name unknown (the short Ed – there are two Eds there) at Lake Centre rehab near Lake Sumter Landing. He is good; I like him.
I already know what Ed's recommendations are; and, they involve my boss reconfiguring my workstation. That needs to be done. I hope Dr. Ruben agrees. For the record, I have worked many years as an insurance defense legal assistant. It is not my desire to file a workers comp claim; I would rather work!
