Went to my pc Dr yesterday. My last appointment I think I have mentioned that she wouldn't let me talk assumed I was in there for pain meds, when I was in there to see if the Savevall she put should have started to work by now. As I said she wouldn't let me speak. She told me I was drug seeking. All my female parts were removed and there is NO reason I should have pain!
Back in Aug I sat on barstool in walmart that I was thinking about buying. The whole thing complete broke underneath me. I crashed to the floor after just bearing all my weight on it. I landed on all the broken wood . Before leaving walmart I started to bruise and swell. This is where my back issues started. I was waiting on my last surgery to remove my left ovary that was stuck to my colon with scar tissue and cover in endometreosis. A problem that has went on for 4 years now? My Ob is the one that finally got me into pain management if u haven't been falling my story.
But to pc dr After my MRI came back with generative discs and a protrusion. I decided I would give my pc dr another chance to help since she actly had films and a report to see what is wrong with my back that I have been having problems with and having problems with my insurance to do a MRI.
Several things happened at my appointment yesterday!
1 after saying a was a drug addicted the first thing she said was I can fill a script for you now. I told her I didn't want a script I wanted her to help me. After offering me a script several times she told me. I need to find a new Dr my medical needs are more then she can handle she said she could put in a pain management referral in seems it is plane to see I am a chronic pain suffer. I told her the referral is already in and appt made. So I didn't understand how she couldn't help me. The pain man should be able to handle most of my conditions. So I would need her only when I had a cold flu or my asthma acted up. I told her I was trying to give her another chance after the way she treated me the last time I was there. She conts to offer me a script. Then she asked me if I was taking legal action on what happened to me at walmart I said yes. After that she told me she doesn't think we are a good fit because she feels that I am trying to blame my pain on someone! Shocked at what she had just said to me I sit there for a minute. Then I say I can't believe she said that to me! It was rude and uncalled for. She says she is sencing some hostility. I told her that I came to her for help showed her the pictures of my injuries cont to tell her I was in pain first she tells me I just want drugs then she tells me I want someone to blame for my pain!
Am I the only shocked this came from a dr. Issued for a letter from stating that she won't. Not treatment with me because as he said to start I have to many issues she can't deal with. She doesn't want to write me this letter! Then I ask for my records since I have to seek out yet another Dr! She gives me excuses like well they have to photo copy my records I tell her I have time,then she says my handwriting isn't readable what Dr's is? Finally I am getting very upset my anxiety is kicking in. I tell her one more time you not treat me o I need my records o I can find a new Dr! Excuses still fly so I finally tell her my lawyer will get my records she yells fine get your lawyer to get your lads as well and slams the door in my face.
My pain referral isn't till Feb 22 I have no pc dr. Why do these things happen to me.and last appointment she tells me I am a drug addict and this appt she offers me a pain script several times. What is going on how do I get the help I need! I am so lost at the Dr's around here. Please someone tell me how o get help!!!!

good morning everyone,i think we were all ready to celebrate the victory for human rights and against police brutality, esp against citizens of color. every person of color should be able to walk with the abandon of this little girl i saw on the beach at gyanilla in pr. i wanted to be dancing on the streets, but it was quiet here. i'd just come upstairs and i wanted to run back down and announce...
If it were me...
1. Report your MD to the licensure board and file a complaint
2. Get your medical records. You have a legal right to your medical records, all you have to do is ask for them and fill out a form regarding your HIPA. Obtaining your records is usually free, sometimes--if it is a lot--they charge you after 10 or so.
I have all my medical records relating to my back...Since the first issue happend back in 1990. I JUST got them all, staring to request them in August when I realized and was given the information about how serious my issues were. I have MRI discs for my L spine and my C spine, MRI reports, Hospital reports, Emergency room reports, PT records, Dr.'s Notes, Discharge summaries, medication summaries. All of them were FREE, All of them were obtained by contacting the Health Records Department of all my medical providers across 4 states (Idaho, Wyoming, California and Oregon) I submitted all my out of state / out of town requests via FAX and received all the information in the mail within a few days.
3. This MD is a freak..and it may take a couple of trys...but find a new one that is validating and supportive and takes the oath to "First, do NO HARM" seriously. Whether or not you get into an issue with WalMart is your own business...your MD should only be concerned about making sure that you are healthy and in good pain management.
HUGS HUGS HUGS to you! Good Luck
I am so sorry for your troubles. Only one word of advice......attorney. Hang in there.

I had a lady doc once she was mean . I had never saw her before
She told me to excsize then came over grab my leg started jerking on it. like this she said . It backfired she help me out put my hip back in place lol. be carful ok big hugs minnie
I will NOT go to another female doctor. They are too darn moody.
This one was probably in her change!!! LOL May the fleas of a thousand camels infest her armpits!
Go find you a better dr that will treat you right and fair. This dr sounds like she doesn't want to be involved in a lawsuit and you sure don't want or need her!
You are entitled to your records. A new dr or your lawyer will have you sign a release form and they will get them for you.
Best Wishes,

I have a protrusion in in L5-S1 facet degenerative changes in L5-s1 and facet degenerative changes in L4-5. After Ob seen MRI he said my protrusion in that area could be radiating pain in the pelvic area but said openly he couldn't say pain isn't his area. This doctor said fibro would answer a lot of the pain and no relieve from surgeries. She put me on savella.Then she starting talking about how I couldn't have pain in the pelvic area nothing was there. Ob believes more scare tissue from last surgery and maybe there is still micro endometriosis they couldn't see when they cut me open like a c-section again not even a year later.
It's going to be a long wait till Feb 22.
No meds no doctor. My lawyer said she can't do this it's discrimnation. She can't judge me just because I have seeked legal advice. nothing is set yet for the advice I got from my lawyer he said he already has a letter stating she has to turn my records over to them. My lawyer is upset says he has never seen a dr act in such a manner.
Trying to look at this in a good way this wasn't the Dr I needed it would have just been a matter of time before she would have cut me short better I know now. Just trying to find a way to deal with the pain physically and emotionally. Sorry I know my spelling is bad. Thanks for reading and your support!
First of all, your Doctor, the one that you call your pc (is that your GP?), should have given you 30 days worth of pain medications if she didn't want to treat you anymore! Now that is probably not going to happen, and that is fine. I would follow the advice that Superduck gave you!
Do you need a referral to see a pain management Doctor or will your insurance allow you to go see any Doctor? With mine I can see whoever I want, so if you can do that, go ahead and look for another PM Doctor and go get yourself taken care of.
Check out www.doctorsforpain.com or www.raceagainstpain.com and find yourself a PM Doc that can see you right away, or sooner than Feb. 22.
If you have back issues do not go see an Ortho for your problems, I will advice that you see a Neurosurgeon. Neurosurgeon's specialize in the spine, Ortho's are good for knees, hips, arms, etc. but I will NOT trust one with my spine!
God works in mysterious ways, it sounds like it was a blessing that this Doctor didn't want to treat you anymore, she sounds like a piece of work and the kind of Doctor that sooner or later was going to treat you like crap, so you are lucky to gotten rid of her!!!! Now concentrate on getting good Doctor's, getting better and getting taken care of. Good luck,
i'm so sorry to hear all of this.
just a thought: have you tried calling the new PMD's office and explaining your situation, to see if they might be able to get you in any sooner? I would even call the other two in the area to see if they had a new patient opening after pleading my case. you never know - you could get some sweet secretary who feels bad for you and fits you in. plus, some patients might be in too much pain to make it in some days - leaving openings. and, there are regular cancellations. be kind about it, but call every day and see if someone's cancelled. you never know.
the pain doctor i was first assigned to didn't deal with migraines, which was an issue (small at the time, but still an issue) i had on top of all of my other pain issues. i didn't know how long i would have to wait, but i asked to see a different pain doctor ... which turned out to be one of the smartest movies i've ever made in my life! when God closes a door, He always opens a window.
good luck with all of this - keep us posted!

I take notes at my appointments - I am serious about my visit and I believe I have been taken more seriously, since I started doing this.
And I HAVE been in situations that I was so happy I documented the visit because it worked out so well in my favor-- I felt like I was on cloud nine because they had to finally admit that were wrong!
What type of pain do you experience? Please elaborate if you wish.
Chronic disease: A disease that persists for a long time. A chronic disease is one lasting 3 months or more, by the definition of the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics. Chronic diseases generally cannot be prevented by vaccines or cured by medication, nor do they just disappear.
