Ya know, one of the things that makes me crazy is how hard it is to get pain management in this country. Benzos they hand out like candy, but ask for a 5mg hydrocodone scrip and suddenly you’re treated like a junkie. In the past, when xrayed I get questions like “what the hell happened?” And I say “being a young female gymnast in the 1970s”. This time, I just loaded up this clip and said “I did this from 6 until college, there is almost no bone in my body I have not broken, I have lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, can I just have some long term pain management please?”
The answer was still no. Ima have to put together a clip showing floor, bars and beam. I think young doctors have no idea how death defying GenX was.
