I'm trying to see if I have a patient neglect case. I told my pain doc, the trigger point injections aren't working and I'm still in pain. He refuses to prescribe anything and can't see me for a few days so essentially I'm left out in the cold to suffer. There has got to be laws protecting patients from this tomfoolery. I'm waiting on phone calls to see if I have anything. Will report back and in the meantime was wondering if anybody has ever had to lawyer up and how did things go.

Mods hopefully this is in the right section, if not please move it.

Thanks. I really hope I have something here. I have voice recordings of me and the nurse specifically saying doc won't prescribe anything and me telling her how much pain I am in. You guys keep your fingers crossed!

 
Finger Crossed. I too have been in the same place as you!!

After complaining about the injections hurting me more

Then I already was. The do. Not listening. Saying over and over

No meds here. I just stop going. It's been 3 or 4 months now

& still no luck finding a doctor!! Pain has ruined my life!!

 
Aren't there any patient advocates in your town that could help? Just my shitty two cents.

You know I'm beginning to wonder if the trigger point injections made me worse. The pain does feel worse and like you it's ruined my life. I was at work today and probably did 3 hours worth of work in an 8 hour work day because I was having trouble sitting up. I wish pain people could unite and have some sort of law passed. What state are you in? PM if you'd like.

I really haven't checked. I thought I would find some allies here in my area but so far no luck. But you certainly may have pointed me in a good direction. I'll see what I can find. Thanks

 
@Headbanger...you're the man.....I found a great site. Lets see how things go. Will keep you guys posted.

 
Allhoney75, I'm happy for you that you're fighting for your right to a pain free life.  Good job and good luck.  We should all be that brave.  I hope you get results and please fill us in on what happens.

Will do. Definitely keep you guys updated!

 
Tried the patient advocay group. The woman basically told me to go search around for a good doctor and tell them I didn't want to live like this forever. She also told me women who are in pain management aren't really taken seriously and that she has no faith in pain management doctors as they simply want to give you the most expensive injection just to fatten their pockets. She basically told me stuff I already knew. She did say if I continued to have bad service to simply call her back..............seems like nobody wants to help.

 
All the friggin doctors in this country are afraid to prescribe opiates cause of all the media hype. You got medical records for shits sake. Ask this women if the pain patient was her or her mother or daughter. Would she have such a cavalier attitude then?

 
I completely agree HB. It's disgusting and hard to believe sometimes.

I get trigger point injections every month for the past year, usually 7 or 8 at a time in my neck, but she also gives me 120 of the 10 mg. Hydros a month. I am also limited to 4 hours a day at work because the arm motion makes it worse. Got another MRI scheduled for end of the month. Last visit she also put me on 800 mg. Ibuprofen, 3 times a day.

 
Yes it is hard to believe in this day and time pain patients are treated this way. And it's universal.................all over the net, people from various states are in horrible condition because they can't get what they need. I read about people commiting suicide because the pain was too great. I wish there was a way pain patients could get together and lobby for better laws regarding pain patients. There are enough of us out there......we just gotta get a movement going somehow.

Fargo your doc sounds like my old doc. She would give me 120 vikes but that was before the law changed plus I ended up moving to another state because I needed to be around family with my condition.

Sad part about this whole thing is I've nearly wiped out my savings due to healthcare costs. MRIs, CT scan, copays, costs for epidural or trigger point injections etc all add up after awhile. At this age, I hate to move back home but it's looking more and more like I might have to.

 
All honey-/ I waited 3 weeks to be seen at this new doc today!

I drove 2 hours. He pretty much laughed at me..

Said there was people worse then me nothing he can do.

Not even give me Zolof or z@naflex!!

I even showed him a photo of how I welp up over my

Whole body!! & he said ah it's your neves but take some

Benadryl you will be ok ...

He said besides how am I suppose to know that's really you??

He told me young people around here like to snot things

Can't help You. I immediately text beach girl (above) lol

I was in tears being talked to like that

Nerve/Anxiety welps.

  4. crimp @ crimp: glad youre good buddy
  5. CalFresh @ CalFresh: Thanks everyone. My family and I are safe ATM. @mellowella thank you, but they cleaned me out. the shelves are empty but I'm hoping to call in some favors to restock ASAP. @xenxra I will reach out to set up a secure comms channel for us. Thanks again all. Yesterday was tough, but the support I've received from those I can share is with has been a Godsend.
  6. tiquanunderwood @ tiquanunderwood: Mad love to you and your family @CalFresh
  7. xenxra @ xenxra: @CalFresh if you are able to DM me (in a secure manner) the transactions associated with your btc theft, i can look into that part for you at least. i;m still 99% certain if the fbi didn't discard my leads they could have gotten some of my coins back and considering you had your coins stolen within the us, you have a much better chance of recovery than me. unless they went through mixers i could probably trace them myself.
  8. O @ Outsider9173: @CalFresh Haven't been here long but I want to wish you a fast recovery
  9. crimp @ crimp: neck spine surgery 8 ribs broke and scalp split onen about 6 inches
  10. crimp @ crimp: need some help dude im so injured its not even funny dm me for details just need someone willing to help me fust for a week
  11. CnC5 @ CnC5: @CalFresh if theres anything i can do brother lmk!
  12. M @ Mokachin0: @CalFresh email me I may be able to assist
  13. mellowella @ mellowella: I will always remember what you did for me the very first time I donated. I have been waiting to pay that kindness forward.
  14. mellowella @ mellowella: @CalFresh are you and your family safe? You’ve helped me in a pinch and were more than generous, and I’m sure you’ve helped others. How can we help you? Does it help at all if we completely buy out what’s left? Maybe that gives time and funds to restock and rebuild? I don’t want to break any rules here, but please let us know if we can do anything. All on your time of course.
  15. CalFresh @ CalFresh: thanks guys. I'm pulling together what I have left and leaning on the kindness of folks who support me to restock my shelves so that I can keep the lights on. Having my savings drained and my security vanish in an instant is paralyzing and the repercussions will only be realized in the coming days and weeks. for now I'm just trying to stay focused on the immediate priorities for ensuring this doesn't. cause cataclysmic failure to the life I've built for my children and I.
  16. H @ hotdog45: @CalFresh hey man if I can do anything, anything at all to help you get back on your feet let me know. Truly my heart goes out to you. I sent you an email also
  17. G @ gfunkster: @CalFresh im really sorry to hear that. But remember karma is real my man. They just fd their karma for a long time.
  18. Telp @ Telp: @CalFresh Thats so fucked man. Im glad you’re safe! And wishing you the best. What a bunch of scumbags.
  19. 0 @ 0osten: @CalFresh wow man.....I'm glad you're safe. Keep us updated, prayers for you bro
  20. CalFresh @ CalFresh: everyone here is safe. I was here alone.
