I assumed that the joint pains would be related to arthritis so I started to attend Hospital For Special Surgery in Manhattan, NY. It's one of the best hospital in the city for rheumatoid arthritis. The Dr. there started me on Lyrica. The doses given to me consisted of stages, ranging from 10mg to 200mg. None of the Lyrica
doses gave me pain relief and although I repeatedly explained this to
my doctor he would not stop the treatment until I finished all the
different stages, which meant I had to stay in pain during his
"experiment". It seems that all the doctors that are being assigned to
me are so adamant about following procedure or protocol more so then
being interested in getting to the root of what is wrong with me or
hearing me, the paiteint explain that what they're doing isn't helping.
It's a constant fight that I am in with these Dr. and I'm so tired and
exhausted from it all.
Dr. Hammond was my Doctor at
this facility and from day one I felt like he was against me. When I
first came to him, I told him my story (what I've gone through pain
wise). I told him to give me a drug test so we could get that out of the
way (since everyone in pain is supposedly a drug addict) and was just
very open to him about my situation. Regardless of my honesty and
sincerity I was still rushed along as if my story and issues were
insignificant, and I was treated like I was on drugs although I passed
every drug test given...so now I'm here venting in order to help myself
cope with this trying time in my life. I JUST NEED HELP!
