Leed, Thank you for your response! I just saw my doctor yesterday where I thought an MRI of my neck is what she was going to prescribe. But since she didn't I was content with her response. Being content is something that I have always been, never questioning what doctors say which makes me MAD. I want to believe whole-heartedly that this person has the BEST interest for me, since they know so much more about medical issues than I EVER want to know. And since my medical chart is SO COMPLEX I never really want to know somethings...ignorance is bliss.
And although getting a confirmation of what I should do, aka your response, I find it literally impossible to pick up the phone. Any pain that I have ever felt has always gone away....I want to believe this will happen!!! I am totally messed up....I seek help from doctors, PC, etc. but then I try to give myself a second chance at beating back the pain. I literally make myself suffer because I am too proud to actually get the help I need. And I want to believe that I am strong enough to handle anything because I did survive a car hitting me at 70mph.
I am sorry you have been in chronic pain for 26 years.... And having to take medicine that allows you to walk daily must be difficult. I better toughen up!
Thank you again for your response!!! HUGS!!! Cherrios
