DS, I call them heart palps, but nothing has been recorded on any event or holter monitor. I believe they are spasms in my chest wall that make every heartbeat painfull. Can you even imagine pain with every heartbeat 75 times a minute 24 hours a day for two years?

The doctor got upset because he thought I was challenging his authority. I simply do not like the way either versed or benadryl make me feel. His exact words were "I want you to have it, maybe you should stop trying to control you medical care." What can one do in my situation. I am in severe pain and I need this man's help. If it were seeing him for a headache I would not have put up with it but this is for life destroying pain.

I know the levels are pain generators, but every doctor is saying that they aren't. No one will believe me that I know what I'm talking about and I know where my pain is coming from, not even Mark Mintzer. I have been telling doctors for two years that C5-6, T3-4 and T6-7 were problems. I have been proven right on all accounts, but without that proof, no one will take me seriously. I know that either T1-2 and possibly C7-T1 are causing very serious pain, but I will never find a doctor to listen to me without that discogram.

This discogram was not all for nothing, I finally got the proof that I needed, but he refused to do the remaining levels that I needed because he thought I was challenging his authority. He is now forcing me to wait in uncontrollable pain until I see my doctor who specifically asked for the T1-2 levels to be done.
