Hello, Kavit. Now, I'm sitting here thinking, "What kind of name is "Kavit"? Is that a guy or a girl? Can't tell a thing by the post or the name. Hmmmm..." Well, it's not important. Welcome to the family. And we are a family by virtue of being all people who know what it's like to deal with pain 24/7. So we all know what you're having to put up with.
I'm Dan, and I'm one of the managers here. You can read about me under Meet DAN over on the left. Actually, there's a LOT of good information over there. Check it out. A couple of things you might want to look at before you make your pain doc appoinment are the parts on dealing with pain doctors. That has to do with keeping a pain diary and a strategy for making doctors comfortable with giving you narcotics. Click on Strategy for Medical Control of Pain and A Sample Pain Chart and Sample Graph of Pain Diary to read and see what I'm talking about. Then you won't have to go through all that other stuff over there looking for it...
Welcome again. Let us know if you have any questions.
Oops, I almost didn't answer the one you did ask. Well, it was implicit in your statement that you were new to this. You're doing fine. You posted your first post and look, BINGO you've got a response.
Now all you have to do is respond by hitting "Reply". But I bet you'll be getting a lot of responses over the next 24 hours or so. So don't feel like you have to respond to everyone. But you might want to say thanks to anyone who obvioulsy took a lot of time to help.
One more thing. If you could please, use a bigger font for those of us with bad eyes. A 4 or 5 is perfect. Thanks. And Welcome again...
Dan
