Echoes, this is where am getting confused. My last 3 doctors appts were to

1.psychologist, who helps me with coping with my injury and what is has done to my life

2.psychiatrist, who also does the same, but also provides me with all the medications that help with my disability, including pain pills, muscle relaxers, pain patches, sleeping pills


3. my primary doctor, which i see every 3 months. since i no longer see my surgeon, isnt he really considered my main doctor for all my health, including my injury?


all 3 actually help with the symptoms of my disability and have been providing the things i need.

If these doctors arent good enough, then am basically screwed because the last time i saw my surgeon was a few years ago. What we talked about is if i wanted to do anything with the bad discs i still have. He told me, that if i couldnt take the pain anymore, to come back and he would do more surgery.
Well i dont want another surgery until i cant take it anymore.

Man this 1 question has got me so stressed out, my head feels like its gonna burst.

In fact on the form, they give examples of what could be written down.
heres their examples

HAVE YOU GONE TO A DOCTOR OR CLINIC FOR TREATMENT {INCLUDING EVAULATIONS, CHECKUPS, COUNSELING, PRESCRIPTIONS, MEDICINES}


This is why i thought for the psychologist i put down COUNSELING

for the psychiatrist i put down PAIN MEDS SPINE

and for primary doctor i put down CHECKUP.


Since they are only gonna see counseling, pain meds and checkup with no doctors names, they would have to look at those 3 visits as having to do with my case.

Or do i just write down

neck/back
neck/back
neck/back

for all 3 visits?

Maybe i can win the mega millions tonight and then call them up and tell them to keep their money.

Echoes if you have any more thoughts, am all ears, as i know you have been doing this a long time and your info is always good
Thanks

Bobby
