   Hopefully it’s not just talk but the first of many lawsuits
   The pcp that I currently have has yet to lay a finger on my person but at least she’s sort of continuing my pain meds. I have some newish symptoms which would begin with palpating some areas of swelling for proper diagnostic beginning. I have made an appointment with a doctor that I hope will see me (others in town refuse to because of pain meds) but have to be very careful to not mess up my pain contract. Doctors have ceased to be doctors anymore.

   I’m almost sure it has to do with anyone whose spine was permanently damaged even more after receiving an epidural steroid injection in their spine. (Arachnoiditis??) Dr. Tennant is able to identify it, I think. Class action lawsuit. I’m trying to find the post with the attorney’s name and number.

   This has been my belief over the past 6+ years. Simple pain maintenance just isn’t enough and that’s all my doctors have ever attempted to do. For example; My monthly appointments consist of a total of 15 minutes 10 of which are spent with the nurse answering questions more aimed at addiction than my pain conditions. Then the doctor comes in, he has me take 5 steps, try to stand on my tiptoes, rock back on my heals and squeeze his fingers. That’s it, examination over, scripts are filled and next appointment made.
   That’s all of it, no questions about trying new theropies such as acupuncture or hydrotherapy. No real examination or testing to discover if my condition is getting any worse. They simply just make sure that I’m not displaying signs of addictive personality disorder, fill my prescriptions charge me my $40 co-pay on a $250 office visit and send me on my way. This is not healing or preventative medicine, this is only pain maintenance. Even though I’ve been through the process of step theropies but I don’t just want pain maintenance, I would like treatment from a doctor who cares about my condition.

   ? Call who? I’m missing something here. What should be looking for on Dr Tennant’s home page?
   Who by the way has done a lot of research for the Central Pain Syndrome (CPS) chronic pain condition.
   Rumor this month is that he will be retiring soon.
