What is the name of your state?KY I am asking this on behalf of my brother. He used to buy arcade games, juke boxes, and pinball machines for resell. He did business with a company in Florida who sold arcade games quite a bit. He spoke by telephone with the man at this FL company one day in...

It was an er doctor, and I couldn't agree more--drug seeing is dangerous, not to mention illegal. I have yet to ever ask anyone for the first drug. My doctor prescribed narcotics because nothing else could manage my pain. I was in the e.r. that day because I had an adverse reaction to the...

I wasn't going to post here again, but since you couldn't possibly have read my "tone of voice" you wouldn't know that "b/c my doctor prescribed it for me" was only sarcasm, just like I sarcastically thought, "well there was a guy round back in the alley selling morphine patches, so I figured...

No, I wouldn't. I'd only be considered a junkee drugseeker by people like you. :D

:( Contin4u--I hope you get an answer to your question and find relief somehow for your chronic pain. I don't think either of us will find a professional answer here though, not with the one looking to attack because of her own ignorant assumptions. :rolleyes: You'd think she'd be more willing...

lololol. woohoo. How witty of you, ec, you rude, discourteous, moron. You forgot disrespectful. :D I'm out to harm no one innocent. I came here sincerely looking for advice, just as the poster of this thread did, and you obviously take pride in your oh so advanced, medically knowledgeable...

Contin4u - I too am a new poster in this forum (just since yesterday) and one thing I noticed quickly was that ellencee is a discourteous person who seems to think everyone who comes here is a derelict looking for a get rich quick scheme, preferably thru malpractice. She doesn't seem to think...

Kathrynne, please understand that my initial post was directed toward the first poster on this thread, who seems to be, if I'm understanding correctly, a young lady with Medicaid coverage who seems upset with the doctor appointed to her by the state. She seems oblivious to the fact that the...

Your sincere doubts are sincerely wrong. The risk of foot drop was never explained to me. I would have remembered because I did know what foot drop was--as a result of a head injury, not a hip replacement. As a matter of fact, I do distinctly remember sitting in an office the evening before...

I do know how common the abuse of the system is. I've seen it firsthand for years. I know of one woman who is closer to 40 than to 30 who keeps having children, getting WIC, foodstamps, her children are on the free lunch program at school, they get to "shop with a cop" at Christmastime...

Known risk to whom? Doctors obviously. I was never informed of this risk. Was it my responsibility to go to med school beforehand so I would understand the risks in detail? I'm not stupid, but I'm not a doctor either. I would think this would have been something worth mentioning before the...

On public assistance and having children Was reading this post and found it quite interesting because my daughter and her husband had a difficult time conceiving. I am a bit confused though. Is the initial poster saying she is on medicaid and trying to have a baby? If so, why? It's not the...

I had my first surgery 20 yrs ago after being hit head-on by a teenage drunk driver. My pelvis was crushed at that time and a surgeon put me back together with plates and screws. I did very well for many years, then started the arthritis pain. That's why I had the hip replacement. Yes, I did...

What is the name of your state?:( I'm in Kentucky and I am a 44 yr old woman who had a right side total hip replacement on 1/27/05 (was 43 at that time). As a result of the surgery, which caused nerve damage, I now have a condition called foot drop. This causes me to have no control to lift my...
