You don't have LE...so WTH is going on then

So, I went to see a LE specialist who after doing alot of measurements and test said, "you do not have LE"  Great!  But that leaves me wondering what the heck is going on with my arm and especially my neck/jaw area.  Don't get me wrong I'm thrilled I don't have LE but wish I had a reason for these other things, if that makes sense.  Apparently the symptoms I have are not LE and I should stay off Dr Google.  She did say she thought I may have nerve intrapment with scar tissue and exercising will help that.  I guess I'm off to my next specialist...maybe ENT.  Just had to vent and had to admit I was wrong Embarassed

    Well, that is good news that you don't have LE, but I'm sure you would like an answer and a solution to the pain you've been having.  Try the exercise for a bit and if it doesn't improve, keep on searching.

    Take care,

    Sucks, doesn't it?

    Sometimes even if it's not what we want to hear it feels better when it has a name and is identified.  So it's good you don't have LE but not good that you can't give it a name.

    I'm sorry you're going through this.  My PT was pretty good with my nerve entrapment and got my shoulder in much better shape.  However Aetna refused to pay the last $550 because they considered it "not medically necessary".  I'm not really sure where the line is between medically necessary and feeling better.  I thought that was what medicine was about.  Sorry, off track of your problem but I just get frustrated that we are suppose to follow some chart or project plan.  I wish it worked like that!

    Thanks everyone, it's just so frustrating when you know something is going on and can't get answers.  I'll take a look SherriG, I've never heard of that....thanks!
