If you can't get the test results yourself, ask for a copy of your doctors records So the next doctor is up to date on your treatment plans. There should be no reason to change it, as long as he or she knows the reason for the meds. I hope this helps while looking for a new doctor.View Thread




She did a CESI, and it went good. She had told me, it was going to be in the lower back, But she must have talk to the other doctors there. Strange having a machine around me. I got to see most of what was being done. Stopped looking when the shots started, but looked back till the pressure pain came. I think the latocane shot hurt more then the steroid shot. And the doctor came in did the test and left. She never even talk to me about bone concerns. She had a student explain the procedure to me.
And I'm cooking myself today. Funny but it taste better when I cook. I don't let the pain get to me much. Hubby gets mad at me at times, because I keep pushing myself to do everything I need to and more. Don't get me wrong, I am hurting, but I feel better mentally doing things, that I know I still can do.View Thread



I guess I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. Because my insurance is requiring me to go there, If I want to keep getting the pain meds. But I have started to get use to the Oxycodone and The Fenanyl patches. And within the last 10 years FM has set in from the deterioration. Also mini strokes and a few other things.
I have had 2 kids Natural, and both breach. I refused any epidurals shots back then, afraid it would mess up my spine. And now being forced to get them, to keep getting meds to try and live some what of a normal life. Thanks again and god bless you.View Thread

Right now all I'm looking for, is to help with the pain. I have been to hospitals like Loyloa, University of illinois, and Cook county hospital. All training hospitals with big specialist, always told same thing. They can't do any thing for me. Just more pain pills and pain management clinics. That's all I hear.
Sorry about the spelling never was a good speller. And sorry about jumping from 1 thing to another while talking. But trying to explain everything I was told. Thanks for replies and will google up everything, maybe I missed something before. I was always at libaries check up on med and what is the disease is doing to my body. Now I just can google things up.View Thread
