Your doctor is an idiot.Excuse my language! How totally incensitive of him.My outlook on doctors is not that good anyway.As for your specialist,be very direct with him.Also you might want to call the office and tell them to put your name at the top of the list if there is a cancellation.Let them know right then how much pain you are in and you do not know if you can make it till your appointment.When you do see him,let him know that you are frustrated with your doctor for not listening about your neck.The first thing he will do is probably give you some sort of range of motion test on your neck.If he doesn't bother with your neck,ask him why.Doctors wont go ut of there way,it seems you have to almost be your own doctor.As,for your pain med,I am not sure how you can handle that.Unless you try your doctor when you do run out.Or maybe you can explain to the specialist what is going on with your meds.Like maybe you can call and request for him to call you back on the phone.Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.I am sure you will get better advice from someone else in here.This is going to be my last post on here for a while.I am heading out of town on Thur. and I have tons to do.Take care and try not to worry too much.YEA,right!!lol.
