PM docs Angie

[Guest guest]

Hi shoog, I have never seen a Pain doc. It seems I just kept having

surgery so either or my primary would prescribe my pain meds.

I cant believe the gall of that women to say all that to you. Too

much information is an understatement. I think that if you choose to

see those docs you should definetly tell them or the RN in charge

what she had said to you. She is more then likely the receptionist

and she was way out of line.

Also I remember Laurie, aka goutbuster, went to a pain doc that had

never seen a cp patient and it turned out to be a very positve

experience for her. She was able to enlighten this doctor, a female,

about all the problems cp pts have dealing with incompetent

physicians regarding pain meds. I think I would check out the local

group first, they may just surprise you and maybe you could teach

them a thing or two. Besides from what I have gleamed about pain

docs they will want you to come in frequently and see a therapist as

well so being local would be more convenient. If they turn out to be

less then what you are looking for, you can always switch. Also I am

not sure but I think Heidi sees a pain doc not too far from where she

lives and that may be Augusta. My memory is just not what it used to

be but I know that she was quite pleased with the care she received.

Ask Heidi who she sees.

MUSC has a great pain management dept and I am sure that if you asked

would refer you. I used to know a lot of the docs that work in

there but that was well over a year ago and I am not too sure who is

there now. I do know that they send the anesthesia docs from the OR

over there on rotation but again I am not sure who any longer.

Are yo still screening your urine? That might be a good idea for a

few days to make sure everything passes. Have they ever told you why

it is that you keep getting kidney stones?

Feel better and let me know if there is anything I can do.

,

I hadn't even thought about educating them. I guess that could be a good

thing. You are always so great with ideas!! I was really shocked with what that

woman was telling me! I have not heard back from her today. I am not sure that

I want to. I will call Dr. Adam's or really and ask her about the docs

in ton if I can't get anyone here. I have no problem at all with

someone there!

I am still screening my urine and it seems to be clear now and the color is

much better. Instead of looking like pepsi it is now light yellow! So that is

a good thing! But of course probably more than you wanted to know! LOL!

I love ya' girl! You are always so great!

Thanks,

Angie
