Hello all, new to this group!

[Guest guest]

Hello, my name is . I live in houston tx and have been in pain

for quite some time. I have been diagonosed with RA and have a 2

herniated discs in my lumbar region as well as sciatica. I have been

going to the same doctor for the last 4 years who has been treating me

for these things, but unfortunally she just reciently moved. She

refered me to a doctor that just was a compleat jerk. He didn't listen

to me at all, he treated me like i was an idiot, he switched my

medications, and when i asked him what he was prescribing me he just

told me the names of them and that was it, he didn't explain what they

were (or side effect),and he obviouly didn't look at my medical

records or the questionare that i filled out because he prescribed me

a med that had a drug in it that i was allerigic to!!! It was a

horrible experience. So i have been in pain for 2 weeks now and i am

very uneasy about just going to any doctor. So, if anyone is in the

houston area, and knows of a good doctor, let me know please. I am

also looking for a good PT. Neways, i am really looking forward to

future communicating with other members of this group. Its good to

know that i am not alone and that someone else has been where i am. I

hope eveyone has a great evening.Thanks~

Wow, it is really hard to lose a good dr. Houston is a big city – do they

do a “best of Houston” ? That is how I found the orthoped that did all the

testing etc and tho he finally transferred me to Pain management, felt that

he was doing a good job and listening etc – he was voted “best” of Delaware

for Orthopedics. Everywhere I go now, and someone says – oh, yeah I had

pain or my neighbor saw this guy…etc I WRITE it down. I am building a list

cause I need to keep going til I get a diagnosis. If you see someone for RA

– maybe you could call a senior center or something like that and see if

they can give you a referral.
