PAIN MANAGEMENT---what a joke!

I went to my appointment and the doctor told me if I was looking for help with pain then "you are knocking at the wrong door!"

They don't do that kind of thing there, they only do steroid shots for mostly post-surgery patients. Then he said the shot wouldn't help my pain but asked if I wanted one anyway??!??!??

We had driven up to DuBois once before and were told that the doc wasn't available that day to decide if I needed physical therapy or pain help so they had to reschedule my appointment.

My docs office had scheduled the appointment and specifically told them it was for back pain, when I went in they even had a spinal block written on my records which I told them I didn't agree too and didn't want. Then they turn around and tell me that they don't do anything for pain there.

I just don't get it, why call themselves "Pain Management" if they do not provide these services?? I left the place in tears and after Andy calmed me down I called my doc and ended up driving another 45minutes to their office for an appointment to get something for the pain.
