Grelber,

I did follow through with the company and am ineligible because I am not within the distance limits of this particular study; the closest is in Vancouver. I will continue to pursue this option and am asking my doctors here to research it. The surgeon reviewed my MRI with me today and it does seem to be my best option. I had some massage/body work done Sunday and it temporarily resolved the problem almost completely, so it is not as complex as I at first believed, and my body can reset itself once everything is right. Muscles that had not been working began to work and ones overworked in their place, like my ankles, ached. It was incredible. Of course, everything crashed when I had to sit for two hours, but I know once the alignment is fixed, my body can, at least for now, fix the problems created pretty neatly.
