So I had to follow up with the neuro today after yesterdays trip to the ER. First he tells me the back pain is muscular (like he always does) and has nothing to do with MS (like he always does) I told him he was full of crap, a full day of testing later...My spinal cord is swollen again.

We fought over the ON. He tells me it is mild, I tell him it has been here for 2 months and it is getting worse. He tells me he can't fix it. But he can tell me that the pupil is not responding as well in that eye and my vision is no longer 20/20 with my contacts in. He is just full of useful information that I didn't already know today. Can't imagine why I have been complaining about it for 2 months?

We also discovered I am losing muscle in my left leg and my right leg doesn't respond to the reflex test very well. I am not shocked by this both legs have been numb since August This is what started the whole diagnosis.

But since the ER doc started me on the Medrol Dose pack yesterday he is going to tell me to finish that up and come back in April. Oh yeah he wrote me another prescription for another pain reliever.

I cross referenced all my meds last night and discovered that 8 out of 10 should not be combined. I brought this up today he asked why I am taking all of these. I almost punched him at this point... They were all prescribed by him! And all prescribed since October, do they not keep a record of this in my file??

I am frustrated with my doc. I have to raise my voice to make him listen, and I have to demand action for him to do any testing or change any medications. Needless to say I am looking for another Neuro.
