Guest guest Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Tonia, I live in northeastern part of PA. In a small town named Ridgway in Elk County. It's a big county, but with small towns. Mostly it's National Forest land. If you have acsess to a map of PA, look for Erie and then go over to the right a little bit and then down just a little. You'll find me. lol Mark and Rhonda have been trying to help me find a doctor that is close to me also. But it's been hard because I have to drive myself. My husband works 10 hour days and we can't afford him to miss work. Everyone else that I know who drives all work through the day also. So I'm stuck driving to where ever I have to go. I'm glad that I am still able to drive, but sometimes I wish that I didn't always have to. It makes my foot and ankle swell up sooooo bad from hanging down on the floor and then the swelling makes it hurt more. It only takes about 15 minutes to get to the neighboring town where the Super Walmart store is, but by the time I get there, I'm ready to come home, not shop! Wouldn't be bad if we had some kind of store here besides the grocery store and a dollar store, not to mention all the bars and pizza joints, but we don't. Oh yeah, we also have 3 different drug stores! And we don't even have a hospital here! That's in the neighboring town! But if you think that you can find me a good, compatent doctor here, go for it! And good luck!!! I would be eternally grateful! Thank you for offering to help. Take care, Faith Faith, >Where do you live, like what part of what State? >I might be able to help you find a doctor.... > >Tonia Pam, I'll be joining you on that doctor shopping trip. I don't have an rsd dr either. I have a foot and ankle specialist that doesn't know what to do with me anymore, and a pain managment dr who wants to jump from the lumbar nerve block shots straight to the scs, nothing in between. He won't let me try the tens unit or anything. Oh yeah, and no meds either. If I don't want the scs right now, then I must not hurt that bad, so no meds. Nice doc, isn't he? Not!!!!! I think he's just knife happy. Lots of good luck your way to find a GOOD doctor and not some duck of a doctor! (that's a quack lol) Hugs, Faith Find the music you love on MSN Music.
