    Default Hello from Philadelphia Pa

    I just wanted to say what a great web site this is , after reading some of the posts I can see I came to the right place . Everyone here seems to be so helpful and concerned , that means a lot . My sigline pretty much covers my problem , it's been two months and I'm looking at surgery . I've been to my surgeon twice and go back Dec 1 to talk more and move forward . I feel lucky to live in a city so rich with great doctors and hospitals but the thought of surgery scares the heck out of me . I know my condition will only get worse if I don't do this . I've lost movement in my left arm above my chest from the nerve being pinched . I'll continue to post and any knowledge or experiences you can pass on will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks so much .
    Best regards
    Jerry
