Hi. I do not have pain management available in New York on my insurance. I wish I could ride a horse again. I wish I could walk to the corner. Yes I see all kinds of Drs. As I said,vi have recently been diagnosed with RA. Just had CT last week. My only choice right now for any relief is the injections. I truly want this hardware out. One screw is moving causing further damage to tissue and muscle. It's not a pleasant feeling at all. I have never needed depression and anxiety meds before but now I do. I also have to take sleeping meds or I toss and turn or get up all night long because there's no comfortable position for me. I guess I just wanted to see if I was alone in this position. Yes I have been treated very poorly and disregard. I've been told.....oh my that's gotta be painful......and then, well, make another appointment after this that and another test......for years. YES it's painful. God.......I'll just sit here and cry my life away while some Drs say how painful it must be. Sorry, a lot of pain today. Its raining. I'm going to bed. Thank you.
