Rf: More pain, no gain
Its bad enough to have ADD, DEPRESSION, and PANIC / ANXIETY disorders which are being treated with Class II medications, but with Chronic Transient Pain added to this noxious brew I should be on SSD. Since July 19 of last year I've been getting various treatments at a Pain Management facility here in Phoenix, AZ. Pain meds, epidurals to the neck, and now this Frankenstein RF. I thought it was just me, but after reading these posts I am obviously NOT ALONE in the relentless daily pain post-RF. Over a month and still in pain. Saw my PM doc the other day (cancelled next RF to discuss this horrible treatment) and he's used to seeing me smiling and maybe talking too much to the staff. That's all my meds, previous six needle epidurals, my daily laps in the pool and stretching talking. Then it all went to hell in a garbage bag with RF. Pain meds not as effective: he did not increase them, I did not request. Thought I made it clear I wanted previous injections. Left with refills and new appointment for next RF???? Too late, discuss at that appointment. If he insists, I want increased pain meds. Missed gigs (am a musician), interviews for jobs, church. I'm 50 (some might need to know but I don't even look it, not even close) and 20 years on opiates. They work so I'm all for 'em, but I refuse to deal with pain above and beyond my normal level. F!*?! RF.
