Dr. Visit
      #109417 - 10/22/03 06:04 PM

So I saw my new doc today, nice toupee' by the way. Anyhow I arrived all hyped up from trying to get a cab license and havin to goto 3 different official buildings. Anyhow explained my med history bein overweight, losing 30 lbs. riding motocross and the injury I recieved 4 years ago. I told him I was takin mobic, aleve, motrin and tylenol#1's, and that I havent had a real doctor in 10+ years. He ordered blood work, and a cat scan. I asked him about my meds and said to continue on the OTC. Then I was HOPING he would say "If that doesn't work we can try something different" But all he said was "See you inna month"

So how should I approach my next visit, should I try and mention a drug a friend uses called hydrosomethinorother who says it helps him alot? Or should I just continue for a few months and let him get to know me. And so he doesn't put me on darvcrap I said I got bad hives when I took it from a motocross accident.

My friend goes to him, has hepatitas from prison. He gets ambien and vicoprofen #60 every 10 days. At one point the doc had em on #60 5/500 every 5 days. I can't see how that would happen, perhaps it was 10 days and the pharmacy cut em the 5 day break.

Anyhow if ya could share your experiences about how to impose my will upon touppe' man i'd really appreciate it...

Well I'm obviously not the best at talking with doctors so they hand me exactly what I want, but I do OK it seems.

I would tell him that you don't get enough relief from the OTC stuff, that it's starting to bum you out, interfering with your daily living, is it hopeless? etc.
BUT because the injury its self is so old, act as though it's always been a little "testy" and you can get "flare ups". However recently it's really been bothering you from overworking yourself. (there has to be a reason)

Don't be afraid to let him do his thing, like recommend physical therapy. Your role is to act as though about anything he recommends "helps" but you still have a decent amount of pain anyway.. that it's always there.
Do you know what I mean? might not be explaining this well as I am trying to forget about the fact that my tooth is killing me. (read pharmacy vent in this forum)

good luck!

OH, P.S. I wouldn't say much more on that Darvocet hives thing or he will be hesitant to prescribe you ANY opiate. Be careful with that.. just say it doesn't help and you are nervous about talking all that tylenol in it... IF he even offers it. It would be smarter that you hint at it helping more than anything else but not enough.

You should not take more than one NSAID at the same time.
You may well end up with an ulcer. If this doctor didn't address that precaution, you need another doctor, imo.

I told a Dr. once that I had to take large doses of Tylenol and aspirin all the time for arthritis in my neck from a past injury and he put me on Ultram for fear of liver damage and stomach problems from all my OTC pill consumption. I don't know if that's the kind of med you're after, but if you tell him that you have to take dangerous amounts of APAP to get pain releif, he should do something.
