[QUOTE="witzend, post: 267405, member: 99"] I would urge him to be adamant with the neuro that [I]this is different[/I] than it has been in the past and that the neuro needs to approach it differently. Is he getting any PT? He should ask for what my doctor used to call "shake and bake". That was heat and massage from a qualified PT. The insurance will usually pay for it if you can have it done in aid to recovery (rather than pain relief). Sometimes you have to force the doctor to move to a different level of treatment. If your husband is timid and goes with "just take more medications", the doctor will allow that to continue. If your husband starts out with "I have had to take more and more vicodin and it's not helping anymore - we need to try something different", he [i]should[/i] get the doctor to move on to different treatment options. I hope he will start to find some relief soon. [/QUOTE]
