I am considering changing my pain management from this facility. I have been a patient at this facility for a little over a year. While the doctor is extremely well educated, I feel like my care has become stagnant. They are very pro-CBD oil which is great, but I feel like I've hit a metaphorical brick wall with progress in managing my pain. I brought up with the NP "Hey, my neck has had a strong burning sensation for about a month now, I think I should get it looked into" and the nurse told me "Let's do the wait and see approach, if it's still bugging you, let's get a scan."
Here's the problem - I have hypermobility syndrome. I already have very bad discs in my lower back due to genetics and some sports I did as a child (pre-teen and teen years).
