Leggs, I am so sorry to hear that your back is still not healed.
I hope the ER Tramadol helps. Maybe he meant two a day? Every 12 hours? I would call him to be sure.
As for them picking a doctor for you, why?.. because he is cheaper or gives less referrals? I hope everything works out okay with your specialists.
Most every year my company would change medical plans and I had to get new doctors if some did not take it. That is why I lost some great Neuro's over the years. My NYC guy.
Some I dropped, but at least I had that option. I wish you luck
