I went to the ** due to extreme back pain. Gave me a CT scan and found 1 fracture in my spine. I had an MRI the next week. At 11:00PM the radiologist calls me very worried saying they found another 8 compression fractures in the same area as the first that was not found in the original scan. She told me to go back in to get fitted with a sturdy back brace and had to call them to make sure they would treat my pain, as they did nothing for me the first time. I am prescribed methadone for past addiction 4 years ago, and luckily I am because it helps my pain during the day but wears off at night. Keep in mind methadone is 564 times as potent as Morphine. When I went in they prescribed me Morphine 7.5mg, which did absolutly nothing as I would have needed 500 times the dose to have pain relief. Next month I was assaulted by a man who punched my back in the spot where my fractures are and I'm now having the worst pain I've experienced in my life. I took an ambulance to the **, crying the whole time, shaking, and even fainting a couple times from the pain. I saw **********************. My ********************* were extremely high due to pain. I could barley even move and was at a 9/10 @ times. They gave me another CT scan and allegedly found nothing wrong, except some bruising of my broken vertebrae. My chart was wrong, it said I was prescribed wrong dosed script, that I had Schizophrenia that was never diagnosed. Even though I showed 2 different nurses and the doctor an empty bottle showing my methadone prescription of 120mg, they would not update it. They gave me 10mg of Oxycodone. Yet, like the morphine my dose that I'm tolerent too is equivalent to 375mg of Oxycodone, so zero relief. They refused to dispense a med that would match my tolerence I could take at night. Waiting for a ride home, security came up and harassed me & caused pain. This is torture by definition & a break of the hypocritic oath. Nights are total suffering till daylight, with no quality of life. I can't even shower.
