Well, if they wont see me, its unlikely I can get my way in just to talk about why they wont see me. And no, I dont have any litigation history whatsoever. Ive looked up this other doctor's credentials that Dr B is now referring me to and his ADR experience doesnt look too impressive. I think Id rather have Dr Regan do my surgury as originally planned. I was hoping that Dr B might be right in that my neck may adjust and heal itself but thelast 3 days Ive had consistent extreme throbbing pain on the right side of my back just to the right side of C6/7. So, if it doesnt clear up soon, I will need to for sure have this surgury. Its a pretty extreme pain (level 9) but its muscular/skeletal type pain, not the nerve type pain. Im getting a CT scan and new x rays this week for Dr B to review, and Ill also set up with Dr regan to give me his 2nd opinion also. But like I said, if this horrendous pain doesnt subside soon, Ill have to just move forward with surgury w/ Dr Regan.

9/22/09 -Dr B opened me up to find a staph infection was eating my vertebrae causing ADR subsidence. Had to remove all 3 ADR's and convert to 3 level fusion. Mostly pain free 2 weeks post op.
9/20/10 - I think I jinxed myself. As soon as I told dr b and dr Sullivan I was doing well (on 6/1/10) I tanked and have experienced the return of pain. My neuro says the new pain is at t4.
