Travels in the Medical Land

June 3

Dr. Heel said see Dr. Hip
Dr. Hip said its bursitis
We will try a cortisone shot
It won't hurt a lot (it did!)

10 days later still in pain
Dr. Hip says its time to see Dr. Back
Dr. Back says could be a nerve
Another shot (in vain?)

10 days later lots of pain
Now Dr. Back suggests we do a spinal bloc
Confused, starting to scare
I called my trusted  Primary Care (dr)

She said see a neurosurgeon , get his opinion
He said NO don't get a bloc
Get a different hip doc
And a physiatrist too

So here we go again
next week we'll see what helps
MRI and M and M's in hand
Into HEALTH CARE LAND.........

  1. Good plan, not every doctor can see the path to being pain free for every patient! Spinal bloc sounds an extreme solution, but extreme pain necessitates creative measures. I'll have a glass of wine to toast your return to a pain free life.
