@jesfactsmon thanks for asking. Pain getting worse. Nurse practitioner won’t increase hydrocodone so in am basically a lump in bed. She is referring me to a neurologist for surgery but from the stories I’ve heard here on this site I am scared the pain will be worse. I am going to make a special appointment with my nurse with the AMA letter faithwalker provided us and ask her to increase until at least surgery. Does that seem reasonable? Standing is unbearable but so is sitting and lying down. Go figure. I can’t thank you enough for reaching out.
