just got home from ER.... they are asshole!!! the Dr havent even touch one finger on me... all he did was stand there and ask question and the nurse write down cuz im deaf... and all he said was ok u will ahve a shot of torodol for the pain... i wasnt talking abt back pain.... he even wrote down said chronic back pain.... i told them all it was spine pain... after the shots i got..... HA... IT DIDNT WORK.... IT PISSED ME OFF
Whats more is that my fever is 100 and pressure is 120/71... im usuaully 110/60 heartbeat was 92.. i get 80 everytime i see dr... i dont get it that dr onlyg ave me the shot for pain ??? what a dork ?!?!?!?!?!?

ITS HARD GOING 2 THE ER DUE 2 THE FACT THAT THEY DON'T KNOW OUR MEDICAL HISTORY. WHAT I DO WHEN I HAVE 2 GO 2 THE ER IS HAVE THEM CALL MY DOC I DO NOT LET THEM TOUCH ME UNTIL THEY HAVE SPOKEN WITH THEM, THAT WAY MY DOCTOR TELLS THEM WHAT NEEDS 2 BE DONE. I UNDERSTAND HOW U R FEELING I 2 GET ALOT OF PAIN IN MT SPINE. ITD NERVE PAIN AS WELL AS SPAUMS. I AM TAKING BACLOFEN BUT AM STOPING THAT BECUASE I AM NOW TAKING LYRICA WHICH HELPS WITH BOTH. GET ON THE PHONE WITH UR DOCTORS AND TELL HIM WHAT U R FEELING EXACTLY AND ASK HIM IF ANY OF THESE MEDS WILL HELP U. I REALLY DO HOPE U GET 2 FEELING BETTER SOON.

ER's are there to treat your immediate pain, not to help with stuff long term. I learned this over time and talking to a friend that is an ER nurse. You should always demand that they call your doctor and speak to him about your treatment. Most doctors in the ER treat stuff like fractures, accidents, etc, not something that really doesn't need 'fixing'. They administer pain medication to help you so you can see your doctor. I agree, its a waste of time for us unless we're hurt.
I would definitely call your doc today.

I know exactly what your talking about, I told the doc the same thing it is not my back it is in my spine, to the touch it hurts, if my husband gives me a back rub and happens to touch the spot it send me realing pluss shoots pain down my legs like electrical shock, one of my butt cheeks and big toe has been numb for over 2 years now, feels so weird!
I feel for you, I know this paIn well also.
As I write I hurt in my spine, this last relaps has taken me down really hard.
I am pissed off at the monster that invaded me, the MS is like what the h---.
They have given me shots right in the spine for relief, but it has been done 3 times already so I can not do that anymore.
Sorry you hurt!
Always, Val

what's going on is that ms is causeing promblem i had 4 back surgery and i think they knew all the time about the ms just part of the spine.

CALL YOUR DR AND EVEN IF YOU GET HIS SERVICE HAVE HIM CALL YOU BACK, I MAKE MINE WORK FOR HIS MONEY, I EVEN HAVE HIS CELL NUMBER WHICH DOESNT LIKE ME TO USE BUT IF IM IN PAIN HE GETS ACALL.
I TAKE NUROTIN, FOR MY SPINAL PAIN, WHICH IS WHERE ALL THIS MS SH-- STARTED!

I am feeling the exact same thing but did not know what the hell was going on until I read this. I just figured I have lesions on my spine so it must be normal, but it has hurt for months. I just went through infusion of steroids for vertigo, but it did not help the spine pain, thanks to you and everyone elses advice I will definetely let my doctor know.
