Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 Saw my pain management doc today, who went over the CT with me. And yes, there is definitely a problem and based on what I am feeling, is already talking possible surgery. He put me on Kadair (sp) which is part of the morphine family, in hopes that maybe I can stop the other 7 meds. Also ordered 4 more weeks of PT with mechanical traction only. If the traction doesn't work, I get a referral to a neurosurgeon. He asked me what I thought about surgery and I told him I could live with the neck pain, but I hated these headaches. Then I went to therapy where she and I discussed what could be on disabilities minds when they sent the last denial...no mention of the meds or my neck problems, that my back is being labeled as " discomfort " , that I can go to work as an EMT, but not a paramedic, and that my 12 months of possible disability is over May 2004...when I have been fighting this almost 2 years now! I just don't get it! Vivian H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
