lots of empathy here, I had a great doctor's appointment with a new neurologist today. She told me I have a lot going on, I said I know. She wants to see the MRI's for herself. All of them, I am impressed with this big time instead of saying what the Radiologist have to say. I told her about one of the guys in her outfit, Dr. Joyner. I said he is a good surgeon but his staff does not return my calls nor to that follow through with their commitments. She told me they are very short of staff but that is not an excuse. She is going to do part of the nerve conduction study herself on my arm and cervical spine. I thought this spoke volumes. I didn't accept the second opinion of the doctor they sent me to so they are getting a 3rd one. I am uploading lots of physical therapy reports. I wonder if they even read the therapy reports from their therapist they send me to. The saw what I was going on.
The Workman comp Doctor told me I could do the leg extensions and leg curls while the physical therapist told me today who is doing my shoulder that he did not think that was a good idea. I think this why my knee got so bad. I am limping on the left leg. Going to though off my balance and other stuff in my body. I am not happy about this at all. I need to see her next week to get some more physical therapy for my left knee. I need more medicine for it also. Getting back to the new neurologist I met today for the first time, I told her I was incontinent and had gone to physical therapy. She wanted to know who I saw for it, I told her my physical therapist. She rolled her eyes. I was really blessed when I first went the gal, I had the president of the organization-association that deals with incontinence at that time. She gave classes training PA's and nurses to exam patients to see why they are incontinent. She has since taken a job with Mayo Clinic I believe in Jacksonville, FL. She is the one who told me about the group several years ago. The Doctor today told me, we need to see what is going on in the left side of your body, I said I would like to know also. I cannot afford another fall. I never though I would trip and fall like I did. I know the doctor from the workmen comp is young, I don't think she believed that my knee was that bad. I am not happy at all with this stuff. We will see what happens. Thank you all for listening to me. It is nice to have a forum where one can express all the crap that goes on in the medical field today. Be careful out there, we cannot afford any injuries. It is hard as it is to survive.
