it is important for any new dr to see your past reports. The medical reports that I had were really bad. On the first page (the most recent) my "caring" Dr wrote stuff like "addicted to pain meds" "Needs to go to detox" "thinks she is dying" That was really hard for me to pass around, but..... any dr that understands pain will dismiss what they say & look to see what the other dr has done for you, they need to see what test have been done & the out come of the tests. The tests we have to go through are bad enough, but I dont want to do then again & again for each new dr that I see. Your medical records are important!! Don't underestimate the new dr until he gives you a reason to, because you never know which dr it will be that will help you! Best of luck, Robin
