Guest guest Posted July 10, 2000 Report Share Posted July 10, 2000 my syrinx is a little diff. and the rupt. disks in my neck ... we went for 4-5 years of him telling me it was just fibro ... and not doing an xray or an mri -- even when the physical therapist thought it was a good idea ... he also missed diagn. my rupt. disks in lower back ... said I had just sprained it ... finally after 3 years of TERRIBLE pain with that another nsg. ordered the MRI -- I had 3 rupt. disks in L-spine ... one so old they couldn't repair it ... This doc. messed me up ... and my case settled on fibro only ($4,000) ... rather than two rupt. C-disks, syrinx, and 3 rupt L-Disks ... This doc. is a trained ortho, who specializes in working for employers whose employees are filing for disability ... he has learned to minimalize peoples pain ... and he has learned to not ask the questions needed to get to the roots ... Many of our " appointments " he would come in, tell me I look good, (I had gone from 155 to 117 in 5 mos? -- slept all the time and have terrible headaches) He ignored my arms and fingers and legs alternating numbness ... It was all fibro fibro fibro I just can't give up on this yet ... This thing in my neck is growing .. I'm not saying that if he had caught it 4 years ago that he could have stopped it -- I'm just saying that my CASE suffered and the amount I was awarded was laughable for the damages I incurred. thanks for letting me vent " If I'm sick of me, I can only imagine how other people feel.
