Called the Dr who gave the injection and he said all of this has nothing to do with the injection.....it only all started after the injection though.

I am so frustrated/upset not knowing what to do, I do feel my Dr waited and waited to get anything done, had to practically beg for an MRI which did show problems.

I am going to see a new Dr but am worried, what do I say, what do I ask for??

Don't want to come across like I'm trying to tell them their job but I feel something else needs to be done here.

I'm back in PT but it's not really helping. Among other things(loss of lordosis, DDD) I have a herniated disc at C7-T1, the "steroid" Dr said it's pressing on the C7 nerve.

Now with this new and awful pain it's upsetting and I just feel no one is taking this seriously

Any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated, thank you.
