Most of the time I search for information and its a part of ageing , you have to read deep or read someone question before it say from injury. And how come the first thing come out of their mouth is physical therapy, some bones ae not a canidate for twisting ,stooping , or bending or even squeezing , because my first visit to this spine specialist , He looks at me now on the outside I look strong and healthy and capable to do my 8hr shift and maybe half of his , but inside of me I'm in moderate pain. But this spine specialist judge me by my looks and says this after I tell him all my issues " Take physical therapy and come see me in six months,So I go to a very polite internal medicine Doctor he listen to me and take good care of me as long as I'm his patient . Now time lasped by and my refferal for physical therapy exspired I ask my internal medicine to renew the refferal I know I am not a canidate but I figured they will see that I need to see a spine specialist. my first day for evaluation for PT she notice my pelvic is off shift and she notice one leg is longer than the other ,she said she need to look at my x-ray before the session ended ,Now the second day she told me that my lumbar is curved to the right , I kind of figured that because the way I fail any how she say who are you seeing for pain management I told her no one I went to a spine specialist and he sent me to you and she said you seriously need to go back to him, ok now I am having bladder problems after my 4th sessions I stop going to therapy I make a appointment to see my internal medicine and tell him how my pain level has changed and my bladder problem ,he give me a refferal to a gynocologist /urologist / I go see the gyn/uro and he saids who am Im seeing for pain management and your back I say no one he say's it's not your bladder its your back you seriously need to see a spine specialist and he wrote me a refferal to see a spine specialist and when the secretary tried to make the appointment with a different spine Dr. The head of Nuerologist said she is going to the spine Dr. she seen at first. Now I wasted all of my PTO calling off because of pain when I could have been getting treatment for my back, any how I got a chance to see my X-ray and It was not good ,I been working with a dry thoracic10-12 Lumbar and sacrum, Ok now that I realize how bad my spine is I call my nurse manager she takes me off the schedule and she tells me to file for a LOA so I am waiting for approval from Corperate Health , So my point is I was judged by my looks and not examined I was not given the 5th vital sign care which is pain is the 5th vital sign a care giver or Dr. has to believe the patient when he /she states the they are in pain, But my x-ray showed it all.
