Is all I can tell you at this point?
Whether back nerve or what? You just tell THEM THAT IS THEIR JOB?
Do not just say OK... Don't let them cop you out and get off their hooks.
Ask them WHY you hurt thus and so [be specific] and why this or that med just isn't doing the job!...
PT Maybe [ask, can't hurt?] and don't be shy about any why's or how's or whats! But,? Don't expect much in the answer dept. from Docs? I'venot gotten much? And the 'get back to you's'!
Worse of all? You've got to be sooo politely yet assertive to your docs? Until you get your diagnosis! Then you want to blast the jerks who got it WRONG? Be careful, as this aspect can haunt you when applying for disability.
Best phrase I've come up with? 'We did not communicate well'.
Other area docs will KNOW what you mean? But there is no insult or libel ... Get my drift? Sigh that it must be so? But, this is life.. go forth, get tested!
It's gonna be better, for sure.. Just keep at! - 's - j
