The neurologist proved pretty much of a washout. I wasn't reacting properly to the treatment he prescribed or having the right symptoms to match what the EMG machine said was wrong with me, so he dismissed me suggesting I take some vitamins and cut down on the typing. I'm going to look for a chiropractor (not covered by insurance -- ouch)and maybe a doctor specialising in sports (stop sniggering in the back row) injuries or work-related ailments, if I can find one. The IT guy at work has promised to look into speech recognition software but he's getting married Easter weekend so he does have other things on his mind at the moment.

They do similar adjustments to those of a Chiropractor, but are medical doctors too. I have been to both since breaking my back many years ago. Good luck!

Also you might try plain old physical therapy; that's what Faldage's doc recommended (covered by insurance here) and it seems to be helping him with his back. Also, how about yoga or Tai Chi? Both keep you flexible and improve your posture, thereby making you less vulnerable to injury and strain.

You'll find a suitable treatment, I'm sure!
