When I was going to PT, the guy there said he *thought* they might pay for it as long as the doctor gives you an RX for it. But you might want to check with your Pain doctor....
I'm with the others, find a new doctor. 3 years is WAY to long to wait to find someone that will LISTEN to you and help you have a quality of life that you are comfortable with. Can you pcp recommend...
Thank you again everyone for your support. It really is a blessing to have a place to go to where folks understand what you are going through. I'm sure family members are sick to death of hearing me...
HI, I'm sorry to hear about your neck. I have almost the same issues. My neurologist gives me trigger point injections every 6 - 8 weeks. And this has been going on for many years. I'm not sure if...
Actually it's only two doctors. My neurologist who gives me the meds for my headache, the stadol. I've been seeing her since 2001. The other doctor, a PM doctor, is new. I had gone to the orthopedic...
You know, the more I think about this, the more I want to do this. It's not like this is a doctor I just met and she just handed me some medicine. We have gone through every test known to man, she...

Hi everyone... I know this is going to sound very very silly...but I just got home from my neurologist and I'm still kind of in shock. This doctor has been treating me for my neck and severe...

I just got all the consent forms in the mail from my doctor for this shot and stuff... now I *know* I am not having it done. THey are calling it surgery and there are like 4 pages of do's and...
Thank you for your replies. It's much appreciated. I have a herniated disc at L4-L5, Sciatica (sp?), a cyst growing on the nerve root at S1-2. I also have a dextroconvex curvature of the lumbar spine...
I went to the new pain management doctor and to say the least, I was very dissapointed. My appointment was at 1:20, did not get into the exam room until 3:30. Then I didn't see the doctor for another...
God do I understand what you are saying and feeling! My who life I wanted to be a cop. A New York City cop. That was my dream. Took the written test, got a 98% on it. And just before the physical.......
Thanks for the support guys :) I'm sorry for being so cranky, it's just that I am sick to death of being treated so horribly. It amazes me to no end. :/ That doc that gave me the script I couldn't...
Okay...so I go to a new doctor..as my last one was ripping off my insurance..and put me through hell. After MORE xray's, he decides he also wants to do an MRI of my hip..an EMG(?), PT and more stuff....
