Bad pain, headaches, same old song and dance, my friends.

The Weather is FINALLY better, I feel about 35% better over all. I am still feeling like I am dying from the muscle/tendon pain in my right and left legs. They're a major trigger pain right now and I have nothing good ( AS IN PAIN MEDS) to help with the pain. This SUCKS. I did finally get to meet the fabulous Pam C., an LJ friend for a couple of

Does the Percocet not help at all?? If not, could you talk to your dr about a different pain med? You may need something stronger or a stronger dose of Percocet (like 7.5).

If your doctor isn't responsive to your needs (and it doesn't sound like she is), perhaps a new dr is in order? OR, you could contact patient advocates and have them help you get your needs met. Or, I'd be happy to come with you to your next appt and help you advocate for yourself. All in all, it just ISN'T right for you to suffer like this with the doctors ignoring what you're saying. I had so much trouble with this at DH. I would suggest going to see Dr. Batal, but I know it's hard for you to get up at 8am to make that appt. However, patient advocates might be able to help with that, too.

Please call the dr tomorrow and remind them about your script. If you have already called and it's been 72 business hours, then you have a right to get patient advocates involved. There is NO reason they shouldn't have your script for you by now! Patient advocates are a really great resource and I encourage you to use them - they helped me tremendously while I was there.

Like I said, I'd be happy to come with you next time and help you advocate for yourself. These people are tricky to deal with. I know I'm no longer your girlfriend, but you are a very close friend to me and I *hate* seeing you suffer needlessly like this.
