Immediately after procedure I was nauseated and pinching where lead came out at shoulder blade. Rep nurse a d doc said never heard of that before. Next day still nauseated. Loved the pain relief so had apt. for removal in 2 days. Tues. To thurs. Went in to have removed, back was welted and blod red from tape. Explained I was still nauseated I also had been having terrible acid going up into esophagus but he said I would have to tell the doc who did procedure. Rep was there and agai. I told her about bad nausea, very dizzy and a ceeling like I had a gas bubble at top of esophagus. I now have a round raised place at where thymus is . I also had trouble with breathing now. Her only response was I have never heard of that. I didn't have follow up with doctor who did procedure. Folowing week called several times there answer was go to reg doctor this is not related. I started to have terrible spasms all over my back coming around to my abdomen,very strong. So called them again for at least muscle relaxer as they said go to primary care doctor. Weel later they called in scipt. All these problems and no doctor. The doc who sent me to PM said go to them, they said go to primary care doc and he didnt want me there because I explained to him the procedure was WC. and they don't touch WC claims. After a month of bowells not feeling right, breathing problem really bad, and stomach swollen like I was 9 moths pregnant and still back pinching I went to ER. He took my symtons seriously and started running test for heart ??first then. He then left but I heard him say "Nothin like going in at the middle of your back"??He then called the PM "(after hours) and got them on the ball. Daid they would meet me first thing in the morning. Now adap mri of neck, thorax area and chesdt xray. Only minimam cerv. space was reported. It also said spondlelosis and cervicalitis? Now I am back to square one them telling me again to go to regular doctor it is a coincidence I got ill when procedure was done?? I dont know where to go or what kind of a doctor I need. I am also experiencing leg weakness to the point I may not be walking and it involves whole pelvic area at times. Seens like using ice on different spots on back helps. I KNOW something has caused my whole spine to be out of wack. I did not have any back issues before procedure. I am thinking could this be a hernia fro the hard pushing he had to do ti middle of my back. 15 yrs ago I had this trial without any problems and it was easy. This time very painful. Would appreciate any replys and thank you for taking time to ask and read all this. My pain issue for trial was crps in hand and arm!

Also the W C nurse managing my care won't even call me back concerning above post. Should I see neurologist, back doctor, orthopedic, chiropractor or who?????

You need to call a Workers Comp Attorney and have a free consultation to find out your rights and I can GAUREENTEE that you may have better luck with someone working for you based on a contingency plan. Plus it would eliminate the stress and anxiety that IS NOT helping you or your wellbeing but it is likely to be hindering you more than anything. That's my suggestion.
