Don’s had some horrible neck problems lately. It started on January 8, and as of today, he has still not gotten any relief. He’s been to a Family Practitioner, who then sent him to a Neurological/Orthopedic Surgeon. 4 co-pays, a set of x-rays, and an MRI later (not to mention the LOAD of drugs he’s been prescribed) – he’s still in pain.
Yesterday, we got word that he will need to have four weeks of Physical Therapy and three deep injections of cortizone in his neck (OUCH!!!) Should the PT not work, then the only other option will be surgery. We’re praying hard for the therapy to effective and provide some immediate relief. As is usual for us — the therapists are on vacation this week, so it will be Monday before Don can even be evaluated!!!
Bless his heart … I hate to see someone I love in pain. He’s been pitiful.
Really pray that this is taken care of quickly. I can’t even begin to imagine that constant pain.
Physical therapy has worked wonders for M, and I hope it works well for Don! Why in the world are all therapists on vacation at the same time?? Jeesh- they think no one will need worked with! Hopefully he can get in there early next week!
