Hope you feel better soon! I hope you soon get your answers like I said it can be so frustrating. I am just waiting for my Doctor to return from holidays and we are going to have a little chat.. I'm tired of the pain but because of both my husband and his brother already having back surgery not once but twice and now my brother in law is going for a third. The screws keep coming loose. My doctor wants to send me to the same surgeon NOT LIKELY! There has to be answers somewhere, I think its time to be sent to another Surgeon, at least one who's receptionist says "if your not having surgery, then don't bother coming in"
Welcome to our Back & Neck community! : ) "selma"
Just a quick note to say hi!
I am also in the same medical predicament however I am going to see Specialist at some point when the Doctor's Receptionist answers my calls. I am currently on from my family Physician Percocets which relieve some of the pain. This has been ongoing for approx 3 yrs. Its coming to the point that they aren't working either and I can't take Anti Inflamatory pills as I am allergic to aspirin. You do have a right to get copies of your doctors records, I am in Ontario,Canada so I'm not sure of U.S. regulations, however they are your property. Since you haven't received any meds I would go to the DrugStore and ask for Back and Muscle Pain medication which you have to ask for at the Pharmacist. Generic Brand. Hope this is useful I can relate to your pain.
