medical professionals. Prayers,

Hopefully they'll talk me out of it proving me not as bad as I fear. Maybe

treatment will be outpatient. Worst, it will be inpatient and they won't

understand that I need my pain meds. I need another option so I'[m trying this.

You did the right thing. Just tell them how you feel and answer all their

questions. I know it's an emotional experience. Just have a list of your

prescriptions and be sure to contact your pain doctor and primary care doctor to

let them know what's going on. If you are being treated for pain they can't

deny your medications, that's why your pain doctor needs to be involved.

Take care and I hope in a short time you'll have a little relief from the stress

and dark thoughts.

All

I read Lyndi's caudia equine (sp) and had some of the issues and made an

appointment. I was thinking the same thing you were, " What's the use? " .

She took one look at me and when I told her I had fell two weeks ago and my pain

doctor gave me trigger point injections and I had a reaction, she sent me to the

ER.

Of course, the front nurse said she had no orders, fill out a form, the form got

lost and after an hour, I asked how long would it be and she said " Two hours " .

I told her I needed to lie down and she said " Well, I don't have anywhere " . I

said, " I have been sent by my Doctor to rule out an emergency situation and do

you know what it is? She said No, and a nurse walked by that did and my blood

pressure was 240/105 and she got me back on a stretcher, got a Doctor, got an

IV.

I was bitching by now and said, I am trying to do what my Doctor told me to do

and if you can't help me, release me and let me go where I can get some help.

I used my husbands cell phone and called my Doctors on call number and told the

on call Doctor I was having problems being seen. All the while, I am hurting

like hell.

Well, thank goodness I got a good Doctor, he started an IV push of

10 mg Dilaudid (boy, does that work), Toradol, and Phenergan. I did not know

that there was a life without pain. For three hours, I was without pain and

could lie on my back! I had a MRI and he said that

I didn't have it, thank goodness but I need to be checked as I had weak reflexes

and weakness. He even asked me if I wanted another injection so I could rest on

the way home and he gave me prednisone for a week to keep the swelling down.

Yes, Yes, I said. There are angels and I have rested until today.

I called the ER and thanked everyone but the rude nurse at the

front and asked that she rethink what she says. The nurse was very appreciative

and I said I realize that people forget to thank you when they are in pain but I

wanted them to know they made a difference in my life.

So, Donna, I hope for you those nurse angels that helped me and I hate that we

have to demand it sometimes and got through the devil at the front window.

Don't give up and get help please and let us know how you are doing. Thinking

of you.

Sorry you are in so much pain. I have been on the verge of doing that myself

because I just couldn't take the pain anymore. I hope they can offer you some

relief!

Donna,

I hope you get some kind of relief, my recent experience at the ER showed me

that it is wrong to go so long in pain and pain patients deserve relief. Your

body can take so much and I hope that you are placed on some relief so that you

do not have to be depressed. You are not alone and this is is a normal reaction

for your body to get relief. We are all thinking of you and hope that you get a

good Doctor. Let us know how you are doing. Bennie
