Physical therapist = my best ally in this fight.

Well, leave it to my PT to yet again find something that the know-it-all all doctors missed. And yeah she is going nuclear with it.

Messaged several of my doctors today including two while I was in office.

She found that I have no sensation in any areas that I should. (This is a thing that I have said to doctors time and time again)

Also found that documents about my condition still seem to be missing from my online medical records (Finding out if it is missing at my next appointment).

So now she is pushing the doctors for test that I have begged for. (Just to get final answer about what the heck is going on. If it will/could ever get better.)

So, she is pushing for Neurological testing as I have no feeling in my left butt most of my left inner leg, my scrotum, or part of my penis.



She is going to try to get the ball rolling on this between now and the next appointment. But is also going to call me next week to relay what doctors are saying/make sure I get appointments asap.

Wow FLGuy - that is great news! Sounds like your PT is determined to be the squeaky wheel to finally get some real answers. Keep us posted. - Pam

Hey FLGuy, was your Dr able to spare the nerves or did he have to remove them? I’m told nerve removal will cause the exact areas you mention to become numb or have no feelings.

nothing like that yet but my PT did get them to call/text me tonight to set an appointment with a neurologist.
