KEVIN I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU CANNOT GET PAIN MEDS. I HAVE HAD TM FOR 14 YEARS
NOW. I JUST GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL, I WAS THERE 3 WEEKS. I WAS PARALYZED
FROM MY WAIST DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MANY TIMES BUT I ALWAYS COME BACK
AND I AM ABLE TO WALK WITH A CANE OR WALKER. I HAVE PAIN MEDS AND THEY WILL
GIVE
ME ANYTHING TO HELP ME. I HAVE GREAT DOCTORS AND THEY HATE TO SEE ME IN SO
MUCH PAIN.
HAVE YOU INQUIRED ABOUT A PAIN MANAGEMENT CENTER. I WENT TO ONE YEARS AGO IT
REALLY HELPED ME ALOT. I HATE PAIN MEDS I CANNOT FUNCTION AND WHEN I WAKE UP
THE PAIN IS STILL THERE. I HARDLY EVER TAKE THEM. I USE A TENS UNIT
RELAXATION TAPES AND I DO ALOT OF STRETCHING.ITS A VERY LONG TIME TO BE IN THE
PAIN
YOU HAVE.
IS THERE A CLINIC OR A SOCIAL WORKER YOU CAN TALK TO SO THEY CAN ADVISE YOU
SO YOU CAN GET THE PROPER CARE YOU NEED.
TM IS SO RARE THAT ALOT OF DOCTORS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TREAT YOU.MY DOCTOR
KEEPS IN TOUCH WITH DR. KERR I AM SO GLAD. HERE IN LA THEY KNOW ALOT ABOUT TM.
IF I WHERE YOU I WOULD GET A SOCIAL WORKER THAT IS YOUR RIGHT AND TELL THEM
WHAT IS GOING ON. IF THEY ARE GOOD THEY CAN ADVISE YOU ANOTHER DOCTOR TO SEE
AND I WOULD INSIST ON A MRI.
BEST WISHES PAM
