Second Opinion (Upright MRI)

[Cindylou]

I couldn't agree more with Kathy. I don't want to be one to walk around with a frown on my face, but I was a good actress also, hiding my pain from the docs. Don't do what we did. Communicate as clearly and frankly as you can what your pain levels are. I hope you get some answers soon. Hang in there, Cindylou

Thanks, ladies. I just needed a boost! I'm taking a couple of days off from talking to any docs, so on Monday, I'll start again. I try to express myself clearly, but I know that I'm in way more pain than most people know. I don't like to be the downer in the group, so I go along to get along. I know you know what I mean! Last night the pain was next to unbearable and I took 2 extra Percocet just so I could sleep. As it was, I was awake for hours waiting for my foot to stop buzzing. Finally, I fell asleep and rested for 6 whole hours! Took a lovely nap today to make up for it.

Thanks again.
