One more question about Bridwell visit...

[Guest guest]

I am so excited that I will get to see him next Monday! I was

wondering if he ever does any tests other than x-rays (MRI, etc.). I

have only ever had x-rays, but I have heard people here mention other

tests. Just trying to know what to expect.

I am happy to report that I met with my new gp last week. She took

one look at the copies of the x-rays I brought and said, " No wonder

you're in pain. " She gave me a prescription for Tramidol (sp?) which

is finally helping me with my pain, and I am an sleeping better at last.

Thanks again for all your help here.

,

Its good to hear that you have gotten some pain relief through your

GP. I didn't take Tramadol...but I know a number of people on this

group have mentioned taking it to good effect.

If you are interested in learning some more about Tramadal, go to our

links section and find the folder for Pain. Inside it you will find a

link to the American Chronic Pain Foundations Medications Supplement.

It is full of information on all kinds of meds...and also their action

and some common issues related to different meds.

Looking forward to hearing how things go next week. We will all be

hoping for snow free roads for you!

Take Care, Cam
