Re: Physical Therapy
Thank you Betty for your reply. I have been dealing with this for over three years. I hope when I finally go to the movement center at Duke Medical, they will finally have a solution or at least a diagnosis. Doctors have been prescribing Gabapentin for several years for anxiety.
