Default Why is Steroids the only answer??

Ok woke up wth stabbing pain this morning in my spine. Ended up calling my mom to drive 50 miles up here to take me to the doc because it hurts too bad to breathe I cannot imagine driving. I call my idiot of a doctor, and he can't see me until tomorrow, but if it's that bad, I should go to the ER.

So i spend all morning in the ER along with paying a $100 co-pay. They don't want to treat me due to the amount of meds I am on and bc they have no experience with MS so they call my idiot Dr who tells them to put me on steroids aain.... you know becasue they worked so well the last 2 times (the ON is still there doc!) but this time they write me a prescript for percocet....for a whopping 5 mg. So i am thinking if I take 5 of them it might actually help with the pain but does nothing to stop the cause of the pain.

Why is it always steroids? Do they not have another option? I've done the IVSM, this is now my third round with the dose pack since october and still nothing has changed and it keeps getting worse. Is it just my doctor who is steroid crazy or do they have no other solution?
