As some of you have read I have an 80degree lumbar curve. I had an apt at the Bringhams and Womens pain management center today. The doctor assistant had asked me how my pain was today and I told him how it fluctuated from a 7 to 8 depending on if I was sitting or walking. Anyways, I was prescibed Norotin 100mg 3x daily about two months ago and stopped taking it because I saw nothing happening, I tried to call the clinic to see if they would up the dosage noone every got back to me! So he decided he wanted to put me back on the norotin 300mg and gradually increase it..Ok fine I decided I would try this again..The assistant started talking to me about taking percoset, and that I could take this medication because it has worked for me in the past..I explain to him the last time I was there they had told me that they didn't want me on any pain meds bc when I have this operation I will need them the most and they feel I would be too immuned..He nodded his head and agreed. So he asked me if I had an apt with the neuro and I told him it was October 15..He looked at me and was like ewww thats sorta awhile away and asked if I would mind seeing one of there specialists I told him that would be fine more feedback the better!!anyways he goes and get my normal pain management Doctor and he comes in glances at my chart and says ok so we are starting you back on norotin great make an apt in 4 wks and was heading to the door..my moms mouth dropped to the floor, she shouted out "umm we are waiting to see the neuro and my daughter is in a lot of pain" and he shrugged and said yah most patients typically wait 3 months to see the doctor.. and walked out ...ok great but its 3 months now I got this appointment 2 months ago..Frustrated we got up got and the assistant told me that they couldnt give me the prescription for the pain meds because I haven't seen the psychologist yet ((YESS I Need to pass to make suree I wont be addicted!!)) I had an apt last week for him but he canceled..the assistant told me to explain that to booking and to have them squeeze me in..so we walk down to the appointment place and she tells me that the next available apt is Sept 2nd. UGH!! I'm just really frustrated..I am in a lot of pain and I can't seem to get anything done here..I've called the neuro surgeons office to see if there were any cancelations and she told me that there is a list a mile long of people waiting for cancelations!! WHAT AM I TO DO?! I've gone to the ER to just only sit there for 8 hrs and have a dr look at my back and say "Oh you sure do have scoliosis, I would call your neuro and see what they can do"...
I just feel I am out of options..Sorry this is sooo long just really needed to vent =)
