Phone Consultations

My name is Danny, and I am a disabled veteren. During my time in the USMC, I was in the horrible wreck in a 5-ton and broke my back in 3 places, and ruptured my spleen, and ruptured my small and large intestines, crushed my left shoulder, and broke every rib on my left side. When I was first in the wreck, the doctors did not know my back was broken (how they could miss it I do not know, just typical military competance). They did emergency surgery and removed my spleen and parts of my intestines and fixed my shoulder. When I transferred back stateside, I was having a horrible pain in my back, and went to the doctor for 6 months telling the doctor, that I was having horrible pain.

In typical military fashion they told me that I was lazy and that I did not want to pt. They even tried to send me to a shrink to tell me that the pain was in my head. Finally I contacted my state senator, and they made the military x-ray my back. It was found that I had crushed my l1, l3, and l5 in my back. Since I had still ran with my back broken , I had done even more damage to my back. I was released from the military on a medical discharge, and told I was lucky I was not paralyzed for life.

I opened my own bussiness when I got out, but after about a year , it got to the point where walking to the bathroom was like having C4 planted in my back and having explosions go off. The closest VA is about 200 miles from my house, and I was usually in too much pain to drive there. I also developed severe kidney stones, and after seeing about 30 specialist was told they were due to the spinal cord injury in my back.

I got tired of going to doctors and having them want to either 1.) do surgery that could paralyze me, and I could not afford anyway. 2.) send me through physical therapy (which I had been through 10 times already) 3.) be treated like a pain pill junkey. I was so messed up I could not get insurance, and to go to a doctors office it would cost me around 100 bucks for the visit and I would have about a 50/50 chance of getting 10 freaking pills anyway.

The pain that I lived with daily was affecting my marriage, and my over all life. People thought I was being lazy, because I could not work or do normal things like a normal person. I wished that I had gotten a leg blown off instead of my injuries, because at least then people would see my injury. Having a "hidden disability is a horrible thing to go through, as people who have never been injured and have "walked in your shoes" cannot understand you.

The pain had gotten very depressing and I felt I really needed to find alternative methods to dealing with my life. The state I live in doctors do not like to prescribe pain meds, because they have to worry about getting their practice janked.

I finally began my search on the internet, and found Teresita's website. I was VERY skeptical at first, and there were many websites like hers out there. Her story and the picture of her family finally convinced me to check it out. And let me tell you, that choice changed, and probably saved my life. I sent all my medical records to SWMG, and met Dr. L**ge. I finally found a doctor that cared. It had enabled me to do things like walk outside and throw a stick with my dogs, and I am even working around 15-20 hours per week now.

The phone consults are great and done by doctors who care. They do not treat you like a junkie because you live in pain. You are treated with respect and it is very discreet. I do not think SWMG will ever know what a difference they have made in my life. I would highly recommend to anyone who suffers pain daily to try them out. It is very sad that people have to suffer when there are meds out there that can help them with their daily lives. Many local doctors have been pampered their whole lives, and have NEVER been injured. They also have the inpression that anyone who says they are in pain are just junkies, even if you have medical records to prove it. Once again you cannot appreciate chronic pain until you live it.

In the last 2 and 1/2 years I have had 7 surgeries. I've had 3 surgeries related to my face (when a tumor was removed in my parotid (saliva) gland and had unexpected facial nerve damage which then resulted in 2 more surgeries. No fun whatsoever! It also created severe migraines. Then the following year I had an unexpected hysterectomy, giving me no chance to ever have children of my own (very upsetting for me). This is why the Dr. put me on Xanax as I became very depressed, along with having facial paralysis from the facial surgeries.

Then to add to this, I have had 3 back surgeries in a 7 month period (which started as a result of a rear end car accident in Jan. 01). So as you can see, I was very much in need of pain medicine and anxiety medicine. For awhile, I was able to get the prescriptions from my doctors but they eventually felt that there was nothing more they could do for me and discontinued prescribing the Vicodin, Soma and Xanax. My conditions will not change they say and it is something I will have to live with as I have degenerative disc disease in the back and the 3 back surgeries couldn't change that. The permanent facial paralysis I have on the right side of my face is very upsetting for me and continues to cause me to have severe migraines at least twice a month.

This is where www.FindRxOnline.com comes in. I found it quite by accident a few months ago and realized there were doctors out there who cared about my situation and could prescribe me what I could no longer get from my own doctors. I feel like I can live a more "normal" life even though I need the meds to do it.
