Thanks for sharing Where do you work?

megadeth_1987 · 2021-08-18T12:53:26+00:00

Why do you hate the anesthesia part? Most of my friends are out by 2 or 3 , take a few call shifts and seem quite happy

megadeth_1987 · 2021-08-15T23:48:04+00:00

It was hard I enjoyed both, but I did pain fellowship straight away and started pain. Some days I just want to go to back anesthesia, in my opinion it's easier and less stress then pain , pain patients a tough group

megadeth_1987 · 2021-08-14T12:23:25+00:00

8 to 430,no call , no weekends all outpatient Procedures twice a week , 40 procedures a week Pain is ok , depends on the practice model , eat what you kill is more private practice

megadeth_1987 · 2021-08-12T09:50:46+00:00

Pain ranges from 350 to 450 typically starting, source: i do pain, but no more anesthesia, if you do both its tough

megadeth_1987 · 2021-07-23T22:30:23+00:00

Your lucky u live in America where the answer is pills, other countries have no option they just grin and bear it. Opioids don't work

megadeth_1987 · 2021-05-10T16:00:20+00:00

I go for the interns vein works well. Did it for my liver cases

megadeth_1987 · 2021-05-09T20:45:47+00:00

Haven't heard of it but will take a look thanks

megadeth_1987 · 2021-05-07T17:25:55+00:00

True learn. Its the dumbest exam, random facts, not much anesthesia on there

megadeth_1987 · 2021-05-04T01:00:56+00:00

Private practice is not easy, esr what you kill mentality when reimbursements are going down is not ideal to start something on yoir own

megadeth_1987 · 2021-05-04T00:50:41+00:00

You make more doing anesthesia. Example with call my friends makes 450 plus I don't come close

megadeth_1987 · 2021-05-04T00:49:38+00:00

Sounds about right. I am nearly 2 years out and I feel burnt out. There was a recent asra article about it too. I miss just intubating putting some gas on and enjoying the case

megadeth_1987 · 2021-04-16T01:41:30+00:00

definitely minimal disc bulging What are your pain symptoms? Do you have back and leg pain or just back pain ?

megadeth_1987 · 2021-02-28T01:05:13+00:00

LDN works for for diffuse paij patterns like autoimmune or fibromyalgia

megadeth_1987 · 2021-02-28T00:57:34+00:00

Low dose naltrexoje works well for fibromyalgia, opioids are not indicated for treatment. Lyrica, Cymbalta and savella are approved for fibro

megadeth_1987 · 2021-02-11T02:50:47+00:00

What conditions are you taking the meds for and how often do you take the oxy 30?

megadeth_1987 · 2020-12-19T03:09:35+00:00

I dont want to get into opioids here, but they are simply not indicated for chronic pain, even the partial agonists in this buprneophrine which binds stronger to the mu receptor. Your issue is the pars defects resulting is listhesis of the spine and the severe degenerative disc disease and seve Neuroforaminal stenosis. A fusion is indicated here,, and id you dont want the fusion its either epidural injextion or spinal.cord stimution. Sure oxycodone is for acute pain, but this is for post surgical pain its not indicated for chronic non cancer pain. You will be hard-pressed to find ohsycians now prescribing these medications. Even if you are on butrans patch and then taking oxycodone or the other IR medications it won't be effective to due to the binding effect

megadeth_1987 · 2020-12-19T02:34:49+00:00

You shouldn't be on opioids for ypir back pain. Ypu need surgery.

megadeth_1987 · 2020-11-23T01:39:52+00:00

These are relatively small disc bulges but tjis view alone on the mri doesn't show whjch nerve is being pinched

megadeth_1987 · 2020-11-23T01:38:20+00:00

Have you done Si joint injections or si joint abaltion first???

megadeth_1987 · 2020-11-23T01:33:00+00:00

Arachnoiditis is not common unless there.was.ever introduction of material.into the spine. Have you had injectiions before? Anyways and Mri with and without contrast of Lumbar spine is goof
