I didn’t appreciate being told that at my age I should stop using my hands. As a lifelong professional musician that would remove meaning and purpose from my life and cause me to have to consider my situation as hopeless and a waste of oxygen

No concern in my problem and in my pain. I had tingles in my left leg and he ignored it. He doe snor think I have spinal problem although I cannot sit at work and most likely will take leave of absence tomorrow. I cannot sleep from neck pain too during the night. And have also arm weakness.
