Had cervical surgery after 8 months physical therapy 3X a week due to car accident (wasn't driving). Lumbar spine and pain shooting down right leg to foot and knee pain alot better. This was during 2001/2002. I was on pain meds. until surgery then within weeks felt great, good as new. Went back to work in a kitchen a few months later and stayed unitl 2008 when I started another job. In 2005, I was in an accident, reinjured my back and knee, but just went on. Then fell off ladder while cleaning windows outside house and top that off with jumped out of van, landed on Ice, fell, hurt my back and broke my ankle. Went back to pain Drs. Gave me pain meds once a month, never going over my dose and then stopped taking because I thought I could be ok on my own. I was for a few more years and in 2012, pain was so bad, couldn't sleep, couldn't work, don't have normal life anymore. Went to Dr. who said he would treat me with pain meds. and back injections. Was afraid but ok. Had first injection without anesthesia due to Nurse telling me it feels like a pinch and takes 5 minutes. Never again without anesthesia. Had second injection 15 days later. Dr. was going to wait for the next injection during which time I went once a month to pick up pain meds. and Dr. asked how I was feeling. Once Dr. found out injections were no longer covered under my ins. he told me he couldn't treat me much longer. He wasn't going to give me pain meds. unless I did back injections with it. I couldn't afford that, so Dr. wrote last script and told me find another Dr. I asked for my records, and picked them up a week later, read them when I got home and couldn't believe what I was reading. Not only did my Doctor charge for anesthesia that I never received but also other items Dr. wrote down, but most devasting was Dr. wrote in last few months on my reports that I was psychosocial, that I had psychological issues, etc...and when Dr. wrote about meds. I was taking during first few months he wrote Aberrant to Opioids - NONE. Everything seemed to change in his monthly reports after he found out about the Ins. Co. not covering injections. I had an appointment with a new Pain Management Dr. yesterday and as he read my reports that I brought, the only thing he asked me was - am I suicidal? I almost laughed but just said absolutely not. He then told me I would have to bring in a note from a psychiatrist stating I was not suicidal and then proceeded to have his assistant show me the back room where they did procedures including back injections. I thought this must be a bad joke. The room was filthy, dirty, papers all over the place, floors horrible, and table that we are supposed to lay on again filthy. Instead of the paper you pull off for the next pt., it was a dirty light blanket. I just waited while copies were made of my records and Dr. said he would get back injections covered from my Ins. Co.. I just said ok.,took my records and left. After what my former Pain Management Dr. wrote about me, I don't think any respectable Doctor is going to not only take me seriously, but take me on as a patient. Can anyone help me. Should I make an appointment with a Doctor and just not bring my records or what? I'm at a loss, but this Dr. has defamed me, wrote false accusations about me and these are really bad for a new Dr. to just ignore. I think I should speak to my lawyer as this Doctor has ruined my credibility, and hurt my reputation by libel and slander. Would any Doctor out there reading this treat me? I don't think so. Any response would be appreciated. Thank you
