Pain Management

[KeLe.GirL]

my doctor referred me to a pain management doctor. I have never been to one before.

I guess they use a combo of diff therapies to treat the patient. Now atleast I'll finally get to try acupuncture.

I was in a car accident and I had shoulder sergury last year around this time for 2 pinched nerves. Recently my shoulder has been acting up again but my doctor seems to think its from the 3 herniated disc's in my cervical spine (from the accident as well) so he wants to do some combo pain management and PT before opting for sergury again. And yes D I am suing that bastard who pumbled me into a telephone pole while I was at a red light. :(

why do you take an anesthesia which is commonly used during child birth?

after I had my sergury last year they gave me 2 shots of demerol in my ass and damn it felt sooooooo good.
