I'M NEW TO THE STATE,( 8 WEEKS) THE PRIMARY CARE PHYSCIAN I FOUND VIA THE INTERNET, TURNE OUT TO BE THE MOST INHUMANE PERSON I HAVE YET TO MEET BOTH IN MY TEN YEARS OF SUFFERING, AS WELL AS MY 25 YEARS AS A RN.
I AM A10 YEAR PLUS PN SUFFERER, WITH ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES/"COMPLICATIONS, SYMPTOMS, SYNDROMS, AND OF COURSE THE DISABLING (PHYSICAY AND PSYCHOLOGICAL)CHRONIC PAIN, THAT ALL OF US ARE WAY TO FAMILIAR WITH) ETC THAT A SEVERLY ABNORMAL PUDENDAL NERVE CAN CAUSE.I UNDER WENT A 5.5 HOUR DECOMPRESSION SURGURY IN JAN.OF 2011,TO REPAIR THE NERVE, AND REMOVE AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF SCAR TISSUE THROUGHOUT MY ENTIRE PELIVIS-NOT JUST THE RIGHT SIDE AS EXPECTED,AS MY PAIN AND NUMBERS ON MY FORMAL DIAGNOSTIC EXAM WAS SEAMED TO BE CONFINED TO THHE RIGHT SIDE . I MAY NEED L SIDE DONE, OR A RE DO ON RIGHT IF NO MORE IMPROVEMENT IN 3 MO.
DR. ANTOLAK FELT MAJORITY OF SCAR TISSUE WAS RELATED CAUSE BY A MAJOR HEMATOMA/ BLEED DURING A ROUNTINE RECTOCELE REPAIR 10 YEARS AGO. FOLLOWED BY THE 4 ADDITIONAL "EXPERMENTAL PELVIC'" SURGERIES TO TRY TO REPAIR THE "DAMAGE TO ENTIRE PELVIS", DR. ANTOLAC FOUND THE NERVE TO BE SALAVEABE. MY EXPECTED LENGTH TO REACH A MINNIMAL 50% RECOVERY TO BE 16-24 MONTHS BEFORE ANY REALLY NOTICABLE REDUCTION IN PAIN BARRING I DON'T OVER DO IT WITH STRESS &/0R PHYSCIALLY, AND UP TO 5 YEARS FOR FULL RECOVERY.
MY NEW DOCTOR WITH A LETTER FROM MY MN.DOCTOR STATED ALL OF THE ABOVE. DESPITE HAVING THIS INFO-"I'M GOING TO WEAN YOU OFF YOUR NARCOTICS ETC.IN 4 WKS-CUT MED IN HALF-METHADONE AND OXYCODONE!!!
I AM WAITING FOR APPOINTMENT WITH DR. HIBNER, AND MY APPLICATION FOR MEDICAL ASSISTANCE TO GO THROUGH, I NEED A DIFFERENTDOCTOR, I HAVE HAD TO CUT DOWN ON THE REST OF STANDARD MEDS -CAN'T AFFORD.I WILL GO ANY WHERE IN TUSCON, OR PHOENIX-VERY LONG- I NOW -BUT I REALLY NEED SOME REFFERALS FOR AN APPROPRIATE DOCTOR!!
ASAP THANK YOU VICKIE
