omg, that totally sucks Leanne...I was thinking of going to a pain

management doctor myself, but I don't think I will...I can't believe he acted

like

that, and now u have to go back to your family doctor anyway for pain meds...

I wouldn't go thru any of that stuff either, due to the expense and you have

no guarantee it will help and it could make things worse...

I am sorry you didn't get better news from him....I don't have any ideas as

to what u should do next, as I am just starting to deal with these doctors

cos my fibro is getting worse, but I really don't have much hope...

well i went to see the new Dr.... here is the senerio..... he walked

in and told me i was having pain in my neck, well yea that is why I am

here, he told me he looked at my mri, and not only do i have 1 bulging

disc putting pressure on my nerve but i have 2, but that is not the

only problem, i have a severe case of athritis in my spine, the first

thing he start talking is shooting me in the neck with steriods, which

I let him know that i cannot tolerate cortisone, i have had them in

the past in my knee, and in my elbow and it caused more pain, and i

had to have surgery anyway,at that time this man started laughing, and

then apologized and said you poor thing, ok what is up with that????

now he wants to try putting me in traction, which " might " help the

bulging disc, but will not help the arthritis, and i will still have

the pain, so my question is..... why spend all that money that I might

add we don't have, for traction if I'm going to continue with the

pain, and I'm scared to death that the cortisone shots will cause more

pain, and I will have more migraines that i already have, I'm like

between a rock and a hard spot and need some direction on which way to

turn, and as far as him giving me anything for pain, oh no, i have to

now go to my family Dr, for that! what a joke!!!!! any suggestions

I have had cotisone shots in shoulder but not my spine. The ones in

my shoulder only really hurt the first day and then slacked off.

Prior to my cervical spine surgery I had traction and it was

horrible. Made my pain much worse. Wouldn't chose that again. Best of

luck whatever you decide to do.
