I have the best Spine doctor. I had the shots which I thought were a waste. He said according to the paper work, the sots worked on my back but not my neck. I don't get it. Dont I know what worked and what didn't. I would not let them go any further. So, he showed me how to sit and how to get up and down. In other words, take your pain pills and relax. Oh ya while my house fall apart. I cannot change my sheets myself, so I take them off and have someone else help me put them back on. Yes things have changed haven't they?

Oregongirl since your now in an Independent building as I am there is a program for you to get housekeeping done its subsidized by gov. The Social worker can help you with that or ask the building manager if you don't have social worker in your place. I pay my housekeeper twice a month .

Hi!
I had the best pain doc.
After seeing 5 docs who could not help me, I found him, through lots of research, when I moved to Florida.
About 15 years ago, my journey began with a pain in my neck (literally and figuratively).
The doctor I was using then, gave me a shot and it lasted a couple of years.
When the neck started again, I again got long term relief from a shot.
However, when my lower back started, no one was able to help.
When I moved to Florida, I found a great doc.
He was giving me 5-12 weeks of relief in my lumbar spine for approx. the last 4 years.
When the pain returned (after years) in my cervical spine (neck), he was not able to do a thing for me.
I had 3 different unsuccessful procedures.
When the doctor couldn't help me with my neck and the shots stopped working on my lower neck, I know it was time to take another route. That is when I decided it was time to change. I researched out this wonderful neurosurgeon.
I do what I can, but my husband actually does everything.
I am hoping this next surgery lasts and I can do things for myself.
I am not invalid!
Have a pain free day!
