You are so right, Helen. When I saw my new PCP and asked about
oxycontin he said he doesn't prescribe "those kinds of drugs". He also
gave me a referral to a new pain specialist. My app is Jan. 7. Seems
like a million years away!In the meantime the old pain doc wants to do a
caudal block. Any advice from anyone? Does it hurt? Has it helped
anybody? Any side effects?
We had very high winds with a tornado here (Michigan) and then it hit
me! This was caused by the hot air coming from the Ro & Jo Show!!
WOW....
