hi, I'm new. Maybe some of you've had these problems too? My

primary care doctor is trying to make me have 2 spinal cord

stimulators put in, 1 upper back and 1 lower back. I'm still in the

process of making an appt. with a surgeon for a second visit who

says " he doesnt have a clue what the source of my pain is " . I'm

caught between 3 doctors opinions, my primary doctor, the pain

management doctor, and a surgeon that is proving difficult to get an

appt. to see again.

My primary doctor prescribes meds. for the pain and they work but

he's been making it difficult on my lately to get them refilled. I

have to have my husband call the drs. office to tell them I'm taking

the meds properly. I've had this doctor for 25 years and now he's

worried about loosing his license over my meds.

I'm confused and gettin that alone feeling too. I can't get in to see

any other surgeons so far they all say they don't take medicaid, but

they're on medicaids list of providers!!

So here's what I've been told I'm dealing with, I've had scoliosis

all my life and alot of the bones are moved over out of place or

sideways.

Funny I was told to have this fixed when I was 35 and now that I'm on

medicaid they are shuffling me right out the office doors as fast as

they can.

Sooooooo............... how has your day been??? lol
