sorry to hear about that : i hear surgery leads to more
surery
cortizone seems to help people i see in the waiting room :(i
myself) i cant find any one to drive me there so:
at least its good to hear i am not the only one who leaves in
tears beacuse of the pain the dr. but me though waitng hrs.
to see him with a appt. looks like there not much hope for
people with serve pain besides meds; which workers comp do
not feel is a type of teatment :so good luck in the struggle
