It started in one leg and spread to both shortly after being diagnoised. Recently I noticed it spread to my arm. My dr. did a block and it has helped some what. Their is really nothing more he can do for me but give me medication and listen to my complaints. Since I am happy with the scs does anyone think I should keep my appt. with Schwartzman.  |
Absolutly, there is not a doctor, neuro on earth that has a concept and intuition this man does, Not that I agree with his anti opiad therapy, but he is a gem. Treated Pres. Ford when he had a stroke in Phila during a convention.
They would want the best for him, and he is.
When he told my dd what she had, I could have kissed him. I did cry, a chiro reconised the symptoms and the neuro referred us. He was giving us the answer dozens and dozens of doctors did not even know what they were dealing with or W/C refused to admit the severe situtation. He gave us credibility, and hope......
He can tell you how long term things will be, why or why not the device is working, and sooo many things you would want to know.
He ask if he can bring interns in if they are on service, he had psych ones when we were there last. He showed them the scars from CT surgery, the complete derma tones, where the touch sensations, and reflexes are,
Then he surprised me and said to them. this patient could and would normally be sent to you as inconsistant with testing results saying the pain is in there head. He poked, lifted, needle touch, strength and each of these students saw how pain can be invisable, and is debilatating.
I love him to death, but can not be as advanced as he is with ketimine coma. I think that is for the worse of the worse.
The hyberbaric treatment and ketimin infusion trial. are the way to start.IMO'
GO don't miss the chance, if you decide not too., boy my sone would fill in a moment notice.
