My life is really good and I know I don't have much room to complain, but my back has been hurting me ever since the doctor put my epidural in wrong by hitting my bone in the process. The other day I called the director of the hospital to see if they could give me some type of compensation for all I have gone through and all the chiropractor bills I have paid. He told me I had to get proof from my doctor and tell him my story. So, that's what I did. Tonight I went down and got the mail. He typed me up this formal letter and toward the end he basically told me all this crap about how extra weight, or my pregnancies or poor posture could be another cause and there's no way to prove that what the doctor did caused it. It makes me so mad! I just want this pain to go away and have my pain free life back. He said I encourage you to go to your primary care physician or other health care professionals to help you manage the pain. I'm not one who likes to take medicine. That's how most doctors tell you to "manage" the pain. I want to get to the root of the problem.
I know that what the anesthesiologist did caused it, because that's when all the pain started, he knew he messed up, and when I touch the area it kills. Hospitals never want to take responsibility for their actions. Why can't they just be more sympathetic! I cried a lot tonight. I haven't cried because of my back for a while now. Thanks for listening, sorry for being a boob.
