appt at cleveland clinic today about my back

I have my appt at Cleveland Clinic today for my back.  I really hope they are able to help.  I have my records from the other doctor, including a disc with the MRI I had recently on it. 

Speaking of which, I was looking through the records and noted that the doctor wrote that I reported physical therapy helped my back.  I certainly don't remember saying that and I don't remember it helping, either.  Has anyone else ever noticed how often doctors document things that are incorrect?  I once found where one doctor had written that I was admitted to the hospital through the ER, when in fact the very same doctor had admitted me to the hospital directly; I had not gone to the ER.  I have found numerous other errors in my records over the years, usually things that seem pretty small or insignificant, but still...

Anyway, I hope I'll have good news to report this afternoon!

Good luck and hoping they can help you in some way. Chronis back pain is as debilitating as depression for me. And unfortunatly they feed off of each other to compound the problem in my opinion.

I hope you get the answers you need to start feeling better.

I hope they are able to help you and bring you some relief!

good thought sent your way or as Nik would say i am swinging a chicken for you !! good luck, hope it brings you the answers and relief you need, Denise

 I too will be awaiting your results. My pain is just getting worse. Taking the roxicet every 3 instead of every 6 as is prescribed and they don't want to give me morphine. 
Hope u get much relief and have great news. 

Good luck Kelly!

good luck kelly, keep us posted!

Your documentaation experience is common. There was a study in the 70's where they taped doctors doing a history and physiical then compared what they did and said with what they wrote. 27% of what they wrote or what should have been documented was either wrong or missing.
This is one good thing about electronic records and sharing them with the patient. It takes time, but it makes for a more informed and engaged patient.

Good luck!!
