John, I have an appt with another neurologist Wednesday morning to see if I can get some more answers as to whats going on with me. I will bring my existing emg reports and mris . Also I was thinking of bookng a session with a neuromuscular massage therapist to maybe reduce the stress upon me . Which has been mighty.

I really believe its coming. I think this will kick start everything. Sports has always made this country tick and hopefully the other sports venues will follow. This could be the start of something big but MLB has to do this right.This has to grab the attention of the people right off the bat.
