Well this is another fine mess I have gotten myself into!

I may very well have to bite the bullet and go back to the walk in clinic and listen to that doctor's prescriptions.
And that is all due to my neuro not having enough info to order the MRI!
Not to mention in all my stubbornness Hubby says I now have a burn blister on my lower back where I have been repeatedly placing those microwave warmed washcloths in Ziploc bags encompassed in hand towels for moist heat pain relievers! It is only the size of a dime, the burn that is what he says... but another mistake that I have made by not listening!
The walk-in is open until seven and perhaps we may go there with me taking the doctor's medication after all, I seriously cannot continue this way, that is another painful sleepless night!
My plumbing is compromised too... without going into too many details...human plumbing, get it?
My left leg is weird from that side being the worst for the pain!
The doc originally said that I should use a heating pad, but don't lie on it, huh?
The pain is on my lower back and he also told me to stay flat in bed?
He doesn't know why I said that I did not want an MRI, but it was again due to my stupid insurance that is done this month, and that I have a 2,000 dollar deductible, thankfully as of Jan. first things will be different! Not my idea of spending our holiday cheer.
But I called and the out of pocket if I self pay is only $200 and so I called my neuro and her nurse got back to me at three today when I called there at 8 A.M. after another sleepless painful night...
Now she said that she will get back to me tomorrow with the notes from my walk-in clinic visit from the other doctor!
His notes say that I refused everything; more steroids, heavy duty pain meds, including the MRI, which is sad, but true!
Wish me luck!

PS Thanks Paula, my cousin, for your sweet comments, but if I recall correctly, you're the gutsy one!And you know exactly what I am talking about, what you went through with amazing grace while a college student! <3 br="">
