This man does not listen, does not think, does not care.Went to him at noon (12 pm) with Level 9 neck pain, new to me. Believe me about two things: after 3 herniated discs in the past, I know pain; and with a background in health I know how to provide key information.Three days of intense pain. Now unbearable. Crying pain. Never even did that with my discs! No trouble sleeping.Xrays show probable inflammation, he says (?) He suggests prednisone and muscle relaxant. Great. But what about pain? Yes, well can have 10 (5 mg) hydrocodone.Am going to have knee replaced in 3 weeks, never asked for pain relief for that. I do not have a history of opiod abuse.He sends me home with prednisone to take TOMORROW. Muscle relaxant that can't be taken until TONIGHT. How do those help me today? Still in agony. Hydrocodone is directed 2 per day.Did I mention Level 9 pain? Why order muscle relaxant only at night when I can sleep already with sleeping pill I have?It's 1:30 pm. Have taken 2 hydrocodone. No relief. What now?????This whole visit will not help me for 24 hours, if then. WHAT DO I DO NOW?
