Hello to all!
I went to the neourosurgeon today for the first time and I was so very disappointed! He was rude and crude. He never once looked at the MRI's in front of me to show me what he saw nor looked at what I had written down because I knew I would not remember it all. It barely touched my back made me lay on my back and when I was in tears from that he said sit up and get dressed I will be back in. I did so very slowly because I was a 10 in pain and he came back in while I was crying. Well he said all I needed were the shot in the spine that it was just my DDD. :confused: I am a nurse and know a little about how to read reports, somehow when the report says herniation at L4-L4 going left and L5-S1 centrally with varing nerve impinment does this not mean that there is another problem besides the DDD? I have had 2 ER docs from that same hospital say that it is bad. I even have lost bowel and bladder control and he did not care! I called my Atty because this is BWC and told him I want all new doctors because the physicians of record say "we don't take people off we give restrictions" and they don't care either. I am done and fed up and in severe pain and have proof to back it up yet I am being treated like I know nothing! Please somebody tell me that I am not crazy!
