After receiving the injection everyday is filled with extreme pain. After having to go to the Emergency Room & 2 shots of morphine + 1 Vicodin did not relieve the pain, I've been back to see the Doctor & his PA. I was given a Tordal injection that did not work & then received a nerve block injection on Sept 18th. The nerve block helped some of the pain, but I'm still in constant pain & highly medicated. I am constantly using ice on my back everyday, all day. I can't bend over. I am in much more pain than I before walking into this place. The staff there treat you as a bother rather than a patient in pain. They don't return calls or have any compassion. Now they're telling me they I can't schedule another injection until after the new year. I can barley function. I've now incurred medical bills from the emergency room, plus my husband & son have both missed worked to help take care of me. I used to babysit for my sister 3-5 days a week. She's had to miss work as well. Do I have a case?
Dear Marla,
I am sorry to hear what you are going through.
You may have a viable case if the Dr. breached the standard of care resulting in permanent damage.
Reach out for a private consultation to discuss all facts and circumstances and medical records review.
I hope that you make a complete recovery.
