New Spine Doctor...

I went to see the new spine doctor that the neurosurgeon referred me to. The office is way over by my old apartment, but this guy is supposed to know his stuff. I was lucky that I was able to get in on short notice, because I want to get this process started before school is back in session. I got to the office on time, and filled out all the paperwork. I am taken back to a room, and proceed to wait for over an hour. Let me remind you, that sitting, standing, everything is uncomfortable unless I'm laying on my side. The pressure that sitting puts on my constantly numb backside makes it nearly unbearable, plus I'm still having the constant "zingers." The "zingers" are almost like electrical shocks. Sometimes, I'm lucky that they only occur in my left leg, but sometimes they'll run through my buttocks or even worse, my labia. Sometimes, they are pretty painful and I'll flinch or straighten (alerting Cody to the fact that I'm having one, which causes him to worry). The new doctor is going to put me on Zanaflex to help with the rectal spasms I'm experiencing. He has a different timeline than the neurosurgeon gave me for recovery. He says 2 years, the neurosurgeon said 3 mos. I'm glad because I'm not as close to back to normal as I'd like to be, and my 3 mos is almost up!! He wants to see me again in 3 weeks.
