Woke up with a big pain in my left shoulder, really bad pain. Spent several hours in the ER, and they finally kicked me out. I was no better than when I went in, I'm actually worse from positions they xray tech made me do. Xray is negative the CT told them I still have cervical spine issues and need a MRI. Of course my insurance company is needing a prior authorization when I'm suffering.
They gave me IV fentanyl and valium which did nothing. A dose of steroids and a 10mg hydrocodone also did nothing. He sent me home with a script for steroids and 20 more 10mg hydrocodone. It's not doing anything yet, not sure its going to.
I was unsuccessfully attempting to use biofeedback while I was there. You do deep breathing with biofeedback and my ability to breathe was compromised from pain.
Really an unpleasant experience, DW was experiencing anxiety and the ER doc was pretty ignorant in helping to reduce it. He helped increase it.
