my goodness
200 docs and no one to step up. I love it when they suggest things that you have already done that have NOT worked. It's like, does anyone really read the file? I mean they ask for all of this info and updates, and forms everytime you visit. They answers are all there but they still ask questions. The old saying is something like, "it's a sign of insanity to keep trying the same thing expecting a different result." I have had injections done three times! I most recently did rhizotomy. 50% relief...Problem is most pain mgt. docs will only do 1-2 levels at a time. I haven't received the bill yet, I'll let you know....
