well i had my appt with my pain management dr yesterday. I really didnt find out much. He did say there was an area in my back he really needs to keep an eye on, my lumbar. he said my neck was DDD, I already new that from months ago. I dont see how this is giving me such extreme pain in my neck though. Guess thats why i am not a dr huh lol. He increased my lyrical and i change my fentanyl patch every 2 days now. I still use my tens unit, he refered me for physcial therapy. I have to see my pcp also becaues he said i had a cyst show up on in my throat and in my thyroid.
I guess i need to learn to ask better questions. Hard to do when i was in so much pain from the drive there.
My results from my nerve conduction arent in yet. I forgot to ask him about a dx.
I just dont get it. I know what hurts, so does he, he knows my symptoms.
oh well. this is where i stand right now. when my fentanyl was wearing off i started having all the leg etc pain coming back...but ya know even when the patch is working good, i still cant walk right! i still walk funny (only way i know to describe it right now). My foot still drags sometimes. what the heck? ugh.

I know for me right now I need to write my list for friday and take good notes of what he says to me and what he wants me to do. I have waited to see a new pain mngmnt doc now for over a year and my pain meds have not had my pain underany good control for over ayear and I am sooo desperate to see him its insanity. My quality of living have dropped down so far again it's mostly in bed and cannot keep up with my household of limited chores... I had to see this one doc before seeing the pm doc and this will be my 3rd appt with the before guy. My 1st appt went really well but the second appt. seemed as if it was a different doc in personality and bedside manner and his ability to listen to me so I am warry of this nxt appt.
