Hello, I m considering switching pain management doctors, I really like the one I have, but he wants to refer me to doctors who give shots (epidural) in office due to high cost, when he has to do them in a hospital. I tell him THEY DO NOT HELP! I m fused from C5 to C7, and degeneration has set in big time, failed neck syndrome. He doesn t give perscriptions that will ease the the pain to where I can get up, and be active. I m getting more & more depressed by not being able to move without terrible pain. What do I do ? I really like my doctor, I feel he does have my best interest at heart, but he is hesitant on medication. I want a like!
