Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Well i had my doctor's appt. on Friday, I could hardly walk and yes, I had to walk to the other end of the hallway! When my doctor walked in, he had now idea what had happened! He wanted to know when this happened! Can you believe it, his secretary did not even relay anything to him about my episode in wednesday! I really didn't have the strength to go into all that with him, you know about his secretary and all but boy when I feel better I surely will. Well, with my x-rays in hand he took a quick look and said he didn't see that any of the leads had broken, but I could be suffering with pain from the battery pack moving and the scar tissue might be causing the pain. He said with the extreme pain I was in that I would not be able to have mri right now, that maybe in a couple of weeks after pain subsides (god I hope) He did give me MORE meds to help me, along with my percosets 6 tablets per day, skelactin 800 mg perday now oxycotin 20, 2 times per day. He said I could have a disc that is being pinched or just a tweaked back! I never ever have had back problems before and I surley hope never to go through this ever again! My rsd in my shoulder and neck is enough for me! He said complete bed rest for 4 weeks and he means just that, he said from bed to the bathroom, bathroom to bed, and I am doing just that. My sleep has not gotten any better, I tried the recliner but is hurt my tailbone too much. I hope in a couple of weeks I will have an answer to what I have done. And I hav not forgotten about his sweet secretary either, now I do have proof she never relays messages etc., once i ran out of my med's and she told me the doctor was not writing perscriptions today.....for real. I thought she had it in for me or something, maybe she just really likes to see people suffer, I don't know. But I do know I believe in karma (I always say that I must have been a rotten, horrible person to be going through all of this) and she will have her turn, this I believe. The other day at physical therapy, the guru there said to me, you have lived passed lives! I almost gasped!Oh and yes, no physical therapy for 1 month or so..........not until I see my doctor again. Talk to everyone later. Lynda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Hi Lynda  You are not a rotten, horrible person. You are just someone who had something horrible happen to them. We have all played that game. " Why did this have to happen to me, if only I hadn't been in that place at that time, etc " this wouldn't have happened to me. The fact is, it did happen, but not because of the type of person that you are. I do agree that what comes around goes around. Everyone gets their just reward. The secretary will get hers some day. She has issues, but that doesn't give her the right to take it out on anyone else.  I'm sorry that you didn't get any answers from the dr. Believe me, I know how frustrating and disappointing that is. It leaves you in limbo. You don't know what to do, or where to turn. Is he sure you aren't having a flare of the RSD? The RSD could also be spreading. A nerve block would give him the answer to this.  Sorry the recliner didn't help. Do you have a leather couch you could lay across? If you do, the leather would mold to your body and this might be more comfortable. I did this after my implants, and it was more comfortable than the bed. I couldn't sleep all night, but I was able to get some sleep, whereas on the bed I couldn't sleep at all.  Hope the pain subsides quickly. Keep us posted.  Sue Co-owner From: lynda s <lynda01lee@...> Subject: Hi everyone, just letting you all know.........
