I have been in two severe auto accidents. Broken many bones and internal injuries. I have maintained my weight and still look good; so the doctors brush my pain off. I will tell you, I broke my jaw, neck, all left ribs, 5 holes in left lung, shattered left pelvis, broke tail bone, and clean brake on right pelvis. This was in auto accident Jan. 1987 with my two little girls (oldest daughter suffered head injury, almost died). I thought my 10 month old baby died. I was going through divorce with their pig dad. And then forced to get back with him because someone had to wipe my butt. I had two more boys after (very painful pregnancies). I stayed married because I needed someone to care for me. I finally divorced when he got his co-worker pregnant. Left me and the kids, married her. Then she sent him to prison for rape.. Yes I said rape. My oldest was 16 and youngest was 9, I never got child support again. He got out 9 years later. I, however, moved on; worked part time and had good life; in spite of my injuries. 26 years after first accident, I accepted a motorcycle ride from my daughter's friend when a car pulled in front of us and I again was in another accident. This time I had head injury (no helmet) and my left foot was completely upside down. It's been three years since motorcycle accident. I have had two surgeries on ankle, severe pain, ongoing vertigo, just diagnosed with carpal tunnel? I feel like crap, ache all the time. I am always dizzy. But the wonderful male doctors always say, "Well Julie, you look good". You got any remedies for me???? YYYY@YYYY
I don't feel right. I don't feel good. My doctor gives me 5 Norco a day. I have had pelvis surgery with plates and screws, two ankle surgeries. I ache from head to toe. My head felt as if it was going to explode for almost 3 years, but finally my doctor prescribe me Atenolol twice daily. I started taking this the end of May 2015 and these pills changed my life with my head pain, pressure, aching, the constant pounding had finally lightened up. Three years I lived with the constant pressure, aching, dull pin pointing jabbing in and on my head. These pills have helped but I still have: chronic pain, vertigo, nausea, edema, memory loss, and now doctor says I have carpal tunnel? I believe I have carpal tunnel but why? How did I get this? And why do my elbows ache up to my shoulders in my neck? For the last year my feet would burn, my toes turned red. I ache all over. My doctor prescribes me only 5 Norco a day for pain. I know men that get twice as much just for back pain? Oh, that's right. Doctor's say, "Well Julie, you look good". Both ears ring with my right ear nocks constantly; sounds like a faucet dripping with an echo. My eyes are blurred. I am so flipping tired. And I have been vomiting every morning until I got the Atenolol. I vomited from the first accident also. Forgive me or at least my doctor because I did not tell him everything I was going through after the motorcycle accident because I had experienced all these symptoms (even tingling throughout face, arms, and body) with my first accident so I thought all this was normal? I am now realizing, this is not normal and I do not feel well? P.S. in these last 3 years; many times I should of went to E.R. because of severe pain, uncontrollable vomiting, severe head pressure, and severe depression. I CAN'T SEEM TO GO? I have a problem when it comes to hospitals? From my experience after both accident's, I feel that I was treated very bad. In fact, prisoners have more rights than I did as a hospital patient. I suffered in the first hospital with pain and abuse. Back in 1987, anxiety, pain, fear, depression, was not understood? Especially, my personal life was not even considered about my emotional state? Then my second accident (2012) the surgeon TOTALLY patient profiled me! I was not allowed any pain medication during ex-rays of my foot or the incorrect stapling of my head. (I told the E.R. staff they were not pinching my head hard enough) The E.R. staff had trained a new girl to staple my head (36 staples). When I complained that she was not closing the head wound good enough I was told that I can refuse treatment and lay their bleeding? After my ankle was set and head was stapled I was put in the hospital room prepped for surgery next morning. All night long I suffered in pain because I had to wait every four hours for my pain shot. (Just as I did in my first accident) Then about 4 hours after my ankle surgery the surgeon awoke me asking me if I had been dehydrated before the accident? I did not know what he was talking about. He then said that my blood count was below 5? That for the ankle surgery he preformed I should not have lost that much blood? A nurse standing there reminded him about my head injury and how a head will bleed heavy, (which mine was still bleeding through the staples?) And I also told the surgeon that after my pelvis surgery I had to have blood transfusion even though that surgeon did not believe I should have had such a low blood count back then? Anyway, the surgeon looked at me with disgust and said, "Yea, another one". (I do believe now he meant "junkie") (which I have never taken any street drugs in my life) (I don't smoke pot, never did cocaine nor even seen it) Thursday was the accident, Friday surgery, and Saturday morning as the nurse came in to give me my pain shot I was crying with extreme pain. She said to me that my surgeon was treating me old school. I said, "What do you mean"? She said that they stopped doing pain shots over decade ago. She the said, "Julie, I don't know why this surgeon is doing this to you but you are going to suffer if you stay in this hospital". So I left! The surgeon and no problem signing me out. And he made the comment that he would only be giving me one prescription on pain meds! My head continued to bleed through the staples, I got raccoon eyes and painful bruising behind my ears. My son had to quit his job and move in with me to take care of me. My life has been nothing but a struggle. When I went back to the surgeon to get the staples out of my head, the wound open right back up. I went back to surgeon crying how bad my ankle hurt and he told me it's people like me that make our insurance rates high and my children should be caring for me for free because that what Christian people do? I only wish I would of said, "Dr. Palanti, did you fix my ankle for free like a good Christian doctor would do?" Anyway, I got issues. I am in more pain now. In fact, my good joints have more pain than my busted joints. So, any good doctor's out there want to help me? Oh, and my auto insurance! Well, they are refusing to pay Attendant care and Replacement care. Even though I have had 3 doctors sign the appropriate forms; a few doctors have stated that I look fine and see no reason why I still need help on a daily basis!!!! WTF.. Not only do I need help but I have a hard time being alone. I have so many problems that I fear something bad is going to happen to me and therefore someone needs to be with me or at least around?
