Hi 77grace,
He was the doctor I was with before and than after the car accident (2007) that started the continued nightmare with my body. But I never was on any pain meds, at time I used message, physical therapy, and cordisone injections. At first I was being just treated for my back - spondylolisthesis. But after the accident disc ruptured in neck (but wasn't caught right away so pushed on nerve and when woke from surgery whole lower arm was on fire - still have pain in hand & wrist). I continued with that dr no pain meds but on going pain. Back hurt much more too. I was trying to maintain my soberiety. He was good at pushing pain meds but was reluctant to give to me when I beged for something to take edge off. I researched optioned and asked his advise - he offered nothing. Than he kept uping the doze which I would take back, after the 3rd time I just filled. He was going through a divorce and was making more mistakes. I would call him on them, not sure what exactly happen, but I was on pain meds and no doctor - but I know I quit him cause I didn't want to be on pain meds against my soberiety. So much happened and it got yecky before I did get totally off them. Than I went a year in severe pain with my back, so bad my feet were tingling. I knew the nerves in both legs were being crushed. An MRI which my regular doctor knew about showed a fracture and bulged disc which wasn't good with the spondy thing. (that is a whole story in it's self). Everything about using pain meds has to do the fact about me being an addict and a pain med addict. Which I was because no one would listen or help me. They don't do that here. My son just doesn't - wouldn't want to take a chance and put his family through and nightmares. I understand him. I am just now understanding this managed care and that there are 2 doctors that "got my back". The addict inside me still says this is wrong or this is just an addicts dream. But if I do this to myself the mess all comes again. I have nerve damage down the whole left side of my body, fibromyalgia, and arthritis. Can't get enough cordisone injestions to calm the joints they say need to be replaced and I am only 52. That's my pain but I keep moving, gotta. Take care. DebView Thread
