April 2007: ER Visit to "Methodist Hospital"


I went to the emergency room to complain about the pain in my back. They referred me to an outpatient dept, which I went to for a few months. The doctors believed that my pain derived from neurological issues. The medications they tried was Bacoflin and Flexeril Both did nothing for my pain and stiffness.
I stopped going to Methodist for lack of a better word but they really didnt try to help me get to the root of my issues, they just wanted to drug me.

I dont think they saw me as someone who actually has a problem cause i wasnt belting out screaming or crying.  I've cried myself to sleep many nights because I was in pain. Many days have I felt like horrible and I can be prideful so for me to reach out to the hospital / someone  for help is a huge step for me.
I don't like seeking anyone's help but I could no longer bare the pain on my own. Methodist did do an
MRI, which showed 2 disk in my lower bulging but it isn't resulting in surgery, just more meds.... I need to get better and it's not by more pills....
