Angelia,

Deb has a really good point.
Is there someone who can "run point" and be an advocate for your care? It is helpful if they can be, hate to say this but, the bad guy.
Sometimes patients are too darn nice or to darn sick to really make a fuss and get the ball rolling. If your in pain let them know that you want it fixed, NOW.
Hope you can find that person.

Margaret
