I feel with the work I do it would be a huge risk to me to work with a herniated disc and I dont want to become dependent on narcotics. I am a single mom and I have to be able to care for my children. There is also a family history of opiod dependence.

Rachel the conclusion as to why drs dont prefer to touch another drs patient is bc each dr is different and there technique and what they may have done doesnt necessarily coincide with what the other dr. did....It's not impossible to change to a different dr. its just a lil more difficult.....im sure leesa can fill you in more as well.....this is merely what i have come to find as i work in the medical field as well!
