Geez, Leanne, I can't believe how many morons are out there.It is just amazing.

I don't know what to tell you. Go to yet another doctor??? I know how many more

do we have to see to find relief or just someone who believes. Good luck to you

my friend.

The results

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

would be deeply appreciated so much thanks, Leanne

Leanne,

What about having a nerve oblation? I can't handle cortisone shots in my back

either. It makes my pain much worse. I had a nerve oblation in my cervical

spine last summer. You can get this done at a pain specialist.....obviously not

the one you just saw. It didn't work for me, but I have heard it's brought

relief for many people.
