I sure have had a struggle keeping my head above water, lately. Between pain and depression... I think I may be drowning.I did have an interesting trip to town yesterday. I saw the physical therapist and he told me not to go back to the surgeon, but to see another back surgeon. He said I definitely needed a second opinion. But, he cautioned me not to tell my back surgeon what he said or he wouldn't get anymore physical therapy referrals from that surgeon. I was complaining that my surgeon didn't listen and he said he had heard that complaint from alot of his patients.Then I had another appointment with my regular doctor and he told me the same thing. "We need a second opinion because your surgeon is not listening."Like I said it was interesting.Â
So, now.... to find another doctor and one that will listen. I think when I see a new doctor, my first question to him will be... "Do you listen?"
By-the-way... do any of you have suggestions on how to find a top notch back surgeon? I sure could use some help here.

I'm so sorry for your pain. I have pain everyday as well.
I sure hope your back gets better soon.
