I Lost My Pain Management Doctor

A few weeks ago I got a lumbar medial branch nerve block -- injections to lessen or eliminate pain in my lower back. I have been feeling some relief and the pain management doctor scheduled me for another bout of four injections. This was to happen on March 10, 2014, next month.

On Feb. 22 I received a letter from the Spinal and Orthopedic Center that as of Feb. 19 they were no longer at the office on Vesper Avenue but that I can go to any of six satellite offices, all of them far too far away from where I live.

I now have to find a new pain management doctor and start from Zero again.

I am glad the injections were giving you some relief, but I hope you find another place closer to you that will help you.

Argh. There's nothing more annoying that having to doctor shop. I recently encountered the same thing, and regret going to the guy that I did. I'm now looking around for another doctor.

Here's hoping that your search goes well!!

I hope this all works out for you, Lorna. What a pain (so to speak) all this is!

Oh how awful.
I hope you find someone good to replace the doctor you lost.
