Going to Orthopedic tomorrow
My left foot and ankle are still swollen......not like Charcot's but I am going to ask the dr about that tomorrow. This will be my first visit to him. Hopefully he will listen and may even give me more info on my situation.
Saw my 2nd pain mgmt. dr last Monday, I may have mentioned in another post....who knows ?  Anyway.....I only saw his assistant, she asked questions, did some feeling around and sent me back to the waiting room saying they may change my meds. About 30 minutes later the receptionist called me and gave me a card for an appointment tomorrow. I asked what the appoint was for ? To meet the dr ? And she said no, appoint is for shots.....really ?.......never meet the guy and I'm going to let him stick a needle in my back or wherever ? Don't think so. She said she would talk to the dr and call me on Friday with lots of info. Never rec'd that call so I'm marking my 2nd pain dr off my list. Getting to think pain dr's are not the way for me to go.
Anyway.....aren't there other dr's that do sympathetic nerve lumbar blocks and also the neurostimulators ? Maybe the orthopedic office I'm going to tomorrow ? They have 4 dr's that specialize from head to foot. I'm seeing the foot and ankle one tomorrow.
Oh well.....any comments will be welcome.
Take care everyone !
