I have very similar medical issues. That is why I am grateful for this board. With my medical records and mri reports, I have found a compassionate doctor through drugbuyers.com, who doesn't try to shoo me away with a prescription for zoloft and vioxx. I will be 50 this year, and it is humiliating to have my very young PCP look at me with a blank stare when I try to talk to her about my pain issues. She knows they are legitimate. I finally realized she's just not interested if it can't be cured by vioxx and countless rounds of PT.
