Hi All,
I had an appt with Dr. Schwartzman by the end of this month after waiting for more than a year. Although my pain level appears to be undercontrolled with the medications, it has spread from hands to feet and may be to other parts of body. I don't know whether or not i should go to see him because he is so far away from me. I am in the west coast and i can not sit at all without pain plus the travelling cost.
My questions are: is there anything that he can offer the local doctor or local major university hospital can't? If i am interested in coma katemine infusion, do i have to go through him.
If it is imperative for me to go to see him, i will try to go especially if there is treatment options that will stop the spreading. So far i think the doctors that i saw were too conserative. I only had total of 5 blocks for all my extremities and medications and that's all.
Take care and hope to hear from you and thank you,
Numb
