A long overdue thanks, @JanAtheCPA, for your response. I think I knew what I would hear but I just needed to do some thinking out loud to a group of people who would understand. I wound up canceling the appointment and almost immediately felt some weight come off my shoulders. There are so many...

Hello Good People - After a couple of months of seeing improvement in pain symptoms and especially anxiety, I find myself experiencing widespread pain and tingling, migrating from one place to another. It's been going on for a couple of weeks now, especially since I bumped up my activity levels...
