Where are you located? Sorry for your troubles, GailA.
Just outside the cesspit of Memphis across the county line, nothing but GP’s in this area. Even If I found a internist he’d be a twin of the one I now have to drive 90 mins to see. Crappy side effect riddled pills or failed nerve blocks and even worse damaging PT are all I am offered.
Yet younger, or older are getting new knees, shoulders, they won’t even repair the compression fracture that is crumbling into my spine. Just offer me another failed nerve block, or more side effect riddled pills I can’t take. I’d like to keep what is left of my GI track, so I refuse them.
