Hi --

I have been reading your posts --- I can't even imagine the pain you are going

thru. Your ortho sounds like a good doctor and I hope they find out what is

going on right away so you can get some help. I will be keeping you in my

prayers.

Love, Patti

Neck pain - Cindy C. & Sue

Dear Cindy & Sue,

Sorry about the time lags with the emails. I am on the digest so things

are a bit behind :-)

Yes I am absolutely miserable. I can't get away from the pain. Even

putting my head on a pillow causes pain from the pressure. This is 7 days now of

constant severe pain and I've had it!

Cindy - I am at that point where I am about ready to just have them admit

me and knock me the heck out till they figure out whats going on and can fix me.

Sue - The ortho is concerned about the fever too and has been holding off

for the lab results as if they show I am fighting off something then he will get

me right in to the right doctor. I understand this and would prefer not to have

an MRI if I don't have to as they are extremely painful for me. I do not

currently have a regular GP so could not get in to one quickly. He could get me

in to see a doc the same day. He seems to understand that this is bad and wants

to help. When I spoke with him yesterday (which I didn't expect as he was in

surgery and called me on his lunch break) he wanted to know if I was still

running a fever cause if so he would have gotten me in to a doc yesterday. My

thermometer isn't working correctly though so I really couldn't tell. I was

getting reading like 95.5 which I know aren't right. Last night I tested it on

my husband and his were right below and right above normal so then tested mine

and I was running a low grade fever in the 99.* . But when I took it this

morning they were all in the low 98.*

He said he would have his office call Lab Corp this morning to get the

results so I am expecting this to be dealt with today one way or another.

The good thing is around here you can get in for an MRI very quickly -

same or next day. Problem is if the lab results are okay and I do get an MRI

tomorrow, I will have to sit the whole weekend before finding out anything. I

can't and won't do that and will tell him so.

I will keep you posted.

Hugs,

B.
