If your pain is worse, I would take these notes, and any note you care to write about the event, and see another pain specialist. Unless doctors pay attention to us, it doesn't do any good to have that particular doctor. Brushing you away, well do the same thing and get someone to listen to you. I dismissed my first neuro surgeon, flat out. He was rude and crude, and I said bye bye. He didn't listen to me.
I kept right on going until I found that special doctor who took a real intest in me, and made my life better. I wish you all the best. ginnie

thanks for ur reply ginnie, I did go up to the hospital adn they wont give me all my records...I got 17 pages and she said it was between 30 and 40, I asked her for the imaging report and she said there wasnt any imaging, but he said he used the fluoroscope... I havent seen him since he did it back in feb and am working with a new dr, and he is trying to figure out what happened, but as he has told me, since the dr didnt put anything into the report about me crying and complaining of pain during the procedure and he stated that everything went good and as planned, there is no proof that anything went wrong... I can say what happened a million times, but if I have no proof b/c he failed to note it, its just me saying it with nothing to back it up, and since he didnt inject the contrast there is no way to know where the depo medrol went, or if my cord was hit...thats why Im trying to find out if there is any reason why a dr that has ordered contrast would not use it??
