I sent a message through MyChart to Physiatry,the doctor who did the injections won’t be in until Monday. I did receive a phone call from the care team who was very compassionate and spoke to the doctor whom I assume they consult with and then called me back again. There really isn’t much that can be done, I knew this before I called but the support is more than I could have hoped for.The doctor who gave me the injections has the information about all the medications I have tried and a GeneSight testing showing medications that my body does not do well with. She will be calling me on Monday.
I have been fighting for help with my pain with two PCP’s for over two years I have my first appointment with my new PCP on Wednesday and am hopeful that this is a turning point in having a doctor who won’t dismiss my pain.
I will be having a Cervical Rizotomy in about six weeks, then a Lumbar Branch Block sometime following. The pain that I have been experiencing is treatable but you can’t get help if your Pcp won’t listen. As for my knees I am leaning on my faith in God for what happens next. I don’t think I would have made it this far without him.

Yes,she was on vacation, I was told by another doctor there to wait for a couple of weeks more that sometimes it can take three weeks to find relief. Five weeks after I had the injections I called again and then was offered a knee block and then ablation. I had a Cervical radio frequency ablation and I ended up with more pain in my neck than before the ablation. After that experience I decided not to have radio frequency ablation on my knees. I really don’t know how to proceed with any treatment right now
