Re: Pain Drs/Clinics and the ologists

June 25, 2000

My neurologist handles all of my pain needs, as it is caused by my neck condition. If she feels I need physical therapy, she prescribes it. She is willing to try anything that will help with the pain. She will even have the ER contact her first, if it gets that bad, and direct them in my care.

But I know many people see many many more! I've seen just about every ologist, but thankfully dont need to these days and hope it stays that way. *HUGS*Aisha.------------------------------------------------------------------------Shop at gazoontite.com & breathe happier and healthier!

Hi Aisha and all,

"Don't wish to see so many docs too."LOL.... I am sure we ALL know how you feel!! I've narrowoed my list now, with three main doctors and a grand total of 5. GP, Immunologist (who I see more then anyone including family lol) & Neurologist are my top 3, with the addition of an Endo when I need her and my Opthalmic eye guy once a year. But I know many people see many many more!

Yeah, I know that I am seeing very few docs compared to some.... my mum sees an endo, a renal specialist, a liver surgeon, a gastro., and an opth.

Don't know why, I have this phobia of docs. I just get tongue tied when I see them? Especially my neuros and endo. Although the endo had been seeing my mum for many years before he started seeing me, so I actually know him for a long time, but I am still TOUGUE TIED when I see him..... Anyone in the same boat as me?

Hi Lee,

So you are not seeing a pain management doc at all? Your neuro sounds really great. The situation is terrible here, our records in the hospital are not easily accessed by the hospital's emergency dept. They will only trace our hospital records when we are admitted, so we can forget about them contacting the docs for you.

I guess you could say he is my primary for pain. I see him and have a pain

contract so that no one else treats me for the pain but him. This way he

knows I am in serious pain and not just looking for drugs which around here

where I am at we have alot of that. I have been meaning to send Aisha my drs

name and address because it took me so long to find this one(because my

migraines and fibro dont respond to anything but narcotics) and I know how

it is and would like to recommend him to others who are close enough to see

him. I hope this helps you. If you need more info on my dr here in Missouri

please email me and I will let you know all about him. I might also be able

to speak with him on your behalf and maybe if you are not close enough for

him he could maybe refer you to someone closer to you. He goes all over the

states and places for the seminars and such and could probably let you know

about a dr closer to you. Please let me know if I can help.
