Re: Pain management docs in Georgia and South Carolina to ...

[Guest guest]

Heidi,

I am in Aiken, but I am in North Aiken. Right on the border near I-20. My

hubby actually works in ston which is right beside Edgefield and it is only

a 20 min. ride from my house. Downtown Aiken is about the same distance. We

live in the middle of nowhere! My hubby is a mailman and so the drive is not bad

at all for him. The only thing he doesn't like is that right now all of those

peach orchard tractors are in his way!

Oh and I got a call from the doc with the nutty receptionist that told me

about how cp could kill me etc. He referred me to another pain specialist

because he said he mainly did nerve blocks etc. and that he didn't think I

needed

that just having had surgery. He felt that I needed someone to just handle my

oral pain meds. I said well, yes that is what I was looking for. So he referred

me to a Dr. Pam Salazar in Augusta. I talked to her office, I didn't have to

have a referral from my pcp or anything and they are going to see me on Aug.

4th. Her receptionist was very informative and said that this doc had helped my

cp patients and handled their pain meds for them. So it looks like a prayer

answered for me! I just hope she is as great as she sounds.

Take care,

Angie in SC

Sug, if you're close to Edgefield, exactly where are you?

Angie,

That sounds like the best news! If this pain management doctor works

out well for you, and is someone that you would recommend to others,

could you please send me all her pertinent information so I can put

her name on the doctor's database list?

The list seems to grow each day, and having a personal recommendation

by a member is always helpful.

I'm so glad that this is working out for you.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi

Thanks Heidi,

I prayed for this doc and the Lord answered that prayer! I woke up about 2

hours after I went to sleep last night and was awake for about 3 hours before I

got the pain back under control and I do some of my best praying then! And lo

and behold I got a call today! God does truly answer prayers!!

I hope she works out well. I will definetely pass her name along if she

does work out. I am always willing to share someone that is a good cp doc with

anyone. There are so few out there!!!

Hope your having a great day!
