Deane:

Wow, I knew you had a similar problem but was unaware that surgery was in the picture... and now it's done. Use extreme caution, my friend. My MRI last week was done in two areas, head and spine. The head is okay, hooray, I have a brain... but the neck area is a problem and may be the culprit causing the persistent tingling sensation in the fingers of both hands.

I'm going to do my best to avoid surgery unless there are no other options.

I sure like the appearance of the kb stand Gary recommended. Let us know if you try it.

Darn, getting old is not for sissies, eh?

All the best,

Dave Rice
