I agree with running from the neuro, but should I to go back to get the MRA? But if I get the MrA then I will need a follow up appointment as well, and that will be already three appointments.
I need a referral from my pcp to go to any doctor. I already have this referral. Also, there are only a couple of neuros here that take my insurance. If I don't go to him I won't have another one to go to. About a week before I was injured I asked my doctor for a referral to a physiatrist who performs osteopathic manipulation. Should I go there... how long should I wait? I don't know if it went through, they haven't contacted me.. so she probably didn't do it.
I have had months of PT previously around month 8 or so after my first injury. Should I go back to the same person? Is it better to have continuity of care? How do I know that she did well if I haven't been to anyone else? I know that it got better but I did still have lingering issues- that is why it is so bad now.
I was feeling ok about my 2nd injury but once i went to this guy i felt devastated and had a little breakdown. There is nothing worse than someone saying that it is in your head.
Also, I haven't been using ice, they recommended the heating pad. This neuro gave me no instructions to rest at all... just discounted the brain injury. He said that all my symptoms.. light, noise, overstimulation, fatigue are all from my neck and that I have a type of migrane.
Yesterday I felt so discouraged. If my neck was the only problem I would be in a lot of pain, but I would not have the other horrible pcs stuff- fogginess, etc.
