I have tried advocating for myself my sister in Christ went with me to the Mayo Clinic and that is where the results came from I saw a rheumatologist here in South Carolina who told me I did not have any arthritis all the tests were negative and I was perfect obviously not I have also seen four different spine specialist including Midlands orthopedics the spinal center here in Charleston all which said that I was in perfect health and that I should not be in any pain and that they were not going to give me any pain medication at this time because I didn't need any that's what led me to the Mayo Clinic as my last resort and there the pain medicine doctor try to get me into a 3-week program of mental health to learn how to deal with chronic pain so that I can have a better life but without medication I've already gone through the without medication issue and well not working so as I sit here and send you this I am sucking on my tears as I do every day when I think about all that I've been going through. I did go to a pain specialist here in South Carolina Pat Toomey health Center who gave me a pain shots in my spine or a pain injection and cause me to have severe pain and in bed for 3 days and would not answer my husband's call for assistance for 3 days matter fact is been 5 years and he's never called back
