mixed with small hoorah... they are finally sending me to a pain doc. Wow, no %#@&#!. After almost 4 yrs of trying i finally have several dx's that all lead to intense pain. The doc looked at me and said "... you have one vertebrae slipping out over the top of another... but i don't know the cause of your pain.."

my joints sublux. i have chronic tendonitis and bursitis. i have the above vert prob, a node on one disc, one herniated one and another bulging disc... no idea where the pain might be coming from.

so he is flipping through my old records from previous doc to find the name of a med and he sees fibromyalgia... well, duh? yeah. If you were going to order my records.. should you at least even glance through them!?

mama mia.

i've had that happen......and recently i called for an appointment with a specialist and it was $645.00!! i asked what for and the receptionist said "to read your chart"............. i didn't go.......pat

Sometimes you gotta wonder! I recently spent 2 1/2 hours in a dentist chair getting a temporary crown. With fibro and tmj I was crying by the end. The dentist comes in and says "it hurts????".

I wanted to say, "why don't you sit in this chair while one person rips the corner of your mouth open for two hours with that suction thinging and then another person keeps shoving metal pieces up in your gums"! Of course I wanted to say other things that aren't too lady like!

$645.00 to read records???? HOLY CR**!!! I'm in the wrong business
