Last week I went to the doctor's office to have my transmitter tweaked. While Julie was tweaking my left hand,the fingers on my right hand started tingling, I asked Julie if that was supposed to happen. She said wait a second let me check something. It turned out that my leads had been mislabeled! All the time we thought my left hand was being tweaked, it was actually my right hand being adjusted which didn't need it! So "A" was really " B" and vice versa!! That's when Julie figured the calculation that made my left hand STILL!!! I held a cup of water and it was amazing. My left hand was actually good. I am very excited that we are on the way to proper settings.
On the other hand, my low back has been killing me. I had an epidural last week (the 3rd one). None have relieved the pain. So I went for a Cat Scan today to see if there's spinal stenosis going on or what is causing the pain to where I can't stand up straight in the morning when I first get out of bed. Should hear from the doctor tomorrow.

Experiment
Today I am trying an experiment. I am turning off my neurostimulator for 3 hours. I record the symptoms and also see if my walking and balance improve. I am to try this for three days in a row. We are trying to figure things out - mainly is my weakness in my thigh muscles and arms is due to the surgery.
