Guest guest Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 I was coming close to calling the pain management clinic back, and trying the cortisone injections until..... I ran into a old friend while at the hospital seeing my brother in law, we got on the discussion of this dr.wanting to give me the injections, she named the dr. and began to tell me her nightmare, you are only allowed 3 injections of cortisone injections in a 1 yr period, this girl got 6 in a 2 month period, she said he ruined her neck, she was refered to a surgeon about 50 miles away, this dr. seen her twice and within a 2 week period was in surgery to repair her bulging disc that was putting pressure on her nerve causing damage, and now has a devise placed in her back that she controls by remote control to control her pain, she went through exactly what I'm going through right now, so I believe I made up my mind, as I'm NOT going back to the dr. who likes to go injection happy!!!!! she did give me the name of this surgeon that done her surgery, so I'm really concedering calling my family dr. and seeing if he will refere me to this guy to see what he has to say! as we all know that each and every time we see someone new they have something different to say!!!!!thanks for listening to me vent, Leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
