I think you all will remember my posts. Anyway this past Monday, I went to doc in box and he did several xrays and was so concerned which my primary dr. said he could not help me. A radiologist read the report and recommended me to see back dr, which I will, and also gastro. The xray showed something of concern to the dr. So, this could have been where the increased pain is coming from. So today, I have to go see my primary dr. that told me 3 three weeks ago he could not help me. Hope nothing is wrong there but the pain has seemed to be different since December. Have not had that gastrro test in several years.

Michael, pcp was much nicer to me yesterday. I think he took me serious. I told him I went to doc in box b/c his nurse said they could not help me. I said I had pain meds and just wanted shot. I have a referral for pain management/neuro 2/21 and they are getting me referral for gastro. I just hate to do that. I told him I would run out of pain meds from previous pain dr. before 2/21 and I am still in shock he wrote me prescription for what I am taking. He also said my pain is not being controlled b/c I take them every 4 hours. Something must be wrong I know I have spinal stenosis.
Thanks
Brenda

Lol! Congrats to your team! Now we have the college Baseball to look forward to. I follow Baseball more than Football. I am glad the Dr. has you scheduled for 02/21. I just pray that you can hold on with the meds and pain till then. Maybe, just maybe you can get some relief with the pain meds till you can see the Dr. I pray so!! Please keep me informed!

I'be been dealing with back pain since 1994-now I do yoga, stretching, flexing and see a massage therapist frequently.

Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your pain..start slowly then build up your stretches, reps and weight.

Be well
