Doctor Update

I just spoke to my doctor--he is as stumped and discouraged as I am.  He thinks this is probably beyond his specialty of physiatry and so I'll go next to a neurologist, to investigate nerve damage in the region (possibly with an "uncomfortable" EMG, or nerve/muscle electrical test) or whatever else it might be (but not something like fibromyalgia because the pain is so localized and focused).  I asked for physical therapy, too, because, well, I always like PTs.  He told me to quit trying to sit, even for a minute.

So, now, breathe in, breathe out.  Nothing has changed, beyond the knowledge that injections don't help.  I'm not worse off.  We'll make a few adjustments and keep going . . . .
