docs and years....
I cannot tell you how many docs I saw, at least 2 GP's, 3 orthopedic surgeons. 2 sport medicine docs 2 pain management docs (one who almost killed me by injecting lidocaine into a spinal vein). 1 amazing orthopedic doc for the Cornhusker football team took one look at me (in the midst of telling me my scans and xrays were "normal") and diagnosed me without laying a hand on me. THEN even with a diagnosis it took 3 different pain docs (all in the same clinic) to find the right "fit". It is 200 miles one way to this fella but I trust him as much as my primary (who is my friend 1st and my caregiver 2nd). The trips are hell but he sees me each trip whether I am scheduled to see him or 1 or his wonderful PA-C's. I know my injury was May10th 1998 about 8 in the evening, but don't recall the exact day I met my diagnosing doc or this doc.
Hard hard work
