Bent over Sunday morning to pick up the laundry basket and my lower back decided it didnt want to do laundry that day. Tried to schedule an appt. with my doctor, however, once again, she is out of town for two weeks!! So, Shah Associates try to fit me in with another doctor. Great!! They got me an appt. in Charlotte Hall yesterday. Wonderful!!!...15 minutes later they call back to say...oops, our bad, that doctor is only seeing pediatric patients now. We can get you another appt with yet another doctor, but not till Thursday. Let me explain, there is no way in hell my back pain is going to behave itself until Thursday without some major pain relief. So I go to urgent care in Charlotte Hall, they take an X-ray and determine its Degenerative Disc Disease (the 3 D's). The nurse practitioner prescribed me Lidocaine Patches, Muscle Relaxers and told me take Tylenol Arthritis and to...follow up with MY DOCTOR, who unfortunately, never seems to be in town. So, after that long story, who do you use as your primary care doctor? My sister loves her doctor, however, he isnt taking new patients. I would prefer someone in St. Mary's, but, Calvert isnt out of the question. Also, has anybody else suffered with this DDD? If so, any suggestions for exercises or stretches that would help alleviate the pain?
