Well, I went into the Dr. yesterday. This time the original Dr referred me to see a surgeon since the Cervical Epidural and the Cervical Facet Injections didn't do any good at all, if anything, they made the pain worse. The new Dr. wants me to do a Disc-O-Gram so they can make sure that the C5/C6 disc is the one causing me all of my pain. They informed me that I will be in extreme pain and to not plan on doing anything at all that evening except for laying in bed with an ice-pack. I am so tired of the pain and not being able to turn my head to the left or to the right. I have to turn my whole body. Anyways, as long as the Disc-O-Gram shows the right result, the Dr will then set me up to have a removal done. I am nervous about this one. I can't seem to find any information on this test that they are doing next Thursday. They explained it to me but still.....oh yeah, someone said to make sure you ask for Fentanyl during this procedure cause it really helps.........I had it with the last 2 and I still felt what they were doing. They won't listen to me when I tell them that I have a high tolerance for the pain medication. They think they can just go on my height/weight....sorry to tell you but with all the migraines and teeth problems I have had, I have been on so many medications that I have built up a tolerance to them. The stupid Vicoden, or Tylenol 3 with codeine or the Darvocet N100 pills that they all love to prescribe....they don't work unless I basically overdose on them and then I get a little bit of relief, either that or I am stoned and can't think straight!! I don't know what to think or do at this point.
