Oops to resume - see at least 2 specialists before you let someone go at you with a scalpel. Be bold and assertive as needed with medical professionals and your insurance, and be prepared to spend the necessary $$. If you are serious about your future, now is no time to be chintzy. Also get with an outstanding teacher who could help you if there is anything about your technique that is making the problem worse. Take time off from playing if necessary. Afterall, is it worth it to risk your whole future over a few gigs today? If the clinical situation is hopeless and you truly cannot safely pursue a horn playing career, be of good cheer and know that there are innumerable musical career choices for creative, determined people. Again, an outstanding teacher can help you with this too. Best wishes. I hope I haven't wandered too far off the deep end. -Molly in Missouri
