I don't have a hot water bottle but I do have a heating pad.. I have
also tried to put ice on it.. All that did was make the pain worse.. I
am laying here on the heating pad but it still don't bring my pain
level down..

I am so darn mad, I can't even see straight.. I am livid that these ppl
would do this to me.. After 3 needle pokes and that needle hitting bone
and scar tissue, you would think that they would stop at that.. But
nooooooo they had to try 2 more times after that.. And each time they
hit bone and scar tissue..

I watched that needle.. It went in about this far from what I could see
on the tv screen..
______________

Now they want to do a CT Cat Scan with no dye.. Then they want to do
the CT Myagram after that.. Now I don't know if I will let them do
that..

Now I am gonna call my pain doctor on Monday.. If he ignores my new
pain, I will not have this test..


Sounds like they seriously irritated your present condition.I've had a
needle hit bone before many years ago, so I do have an idea of what it
felt like, although not in the same place. You think they would have
reviewed xrays to see where the best place would have been BEFORE they
decided to use you as a pin cushion <shaking head>.
I swear some of them utilize us as guinea pigs. As to the Cat Scan with
no dye, as long as it doesn't include any further needle exploration,
it might be an idea to try.However, I personally would make sure they
understood completely beforehand that they use extreme caution with
you. I agree with calling your pain doctor and make sure you emphasize
what has transpired. Let us know how you make out Andrea!
