I had no problem with chiro and therapy but once I had my micro discectomy by doctor Bach that is when it all started to go down hill. I complained to PA Irina (please note she is a PA, not a doctor even though she addresses herself as such) and left messages with doctor Bach about what I thought was an infection starting to take over. My symptoms were ignored and instead was prescribed pain pills and muscles relaxers. It progressively got worse and I asked them multiple times if I should go to the ER, they advised me to keep coming in for injections and going to the hospital was "a waste of time". Once my fever hit 103 and I had uncontrollable muscles spasms and was in the worst pain of my life (about a week to a week and a half of me complaining that something wasn't right) I ignored their advice and reported to the ER. There I was diagnosed septic with an AFB infection in my spine. I was hospitalized for two months and bed ridden for three. I do not blame them for the infection as it could have been a number of things, but I do blame them for ignoring the signs and instead using it as a way to collect more money with prescriptions and injections. They refused to do an MRI to confirm there was no infection, just went by the look.. but you're not going to see an infection inside the spine without an MRI. I had the surgery in Nov of 2020 and I still have the infection in my spine as it is a process to beat, I will be on antibiotics for a year to a year and a half. I had a PICC line to my heart from Nov to March as I needed IV antibiotics that were over $1000 a week that had to be paid up front along with a very expensive hospital bill for a two month stay not to mention the multiple lumbar clean outs and they had to redo my micro discectomy as well as a laminectomy.
My body is completely weak and I have no immune system and am at risk for so much after all the antibiotics and on top of that have PTSD after everything I went through. My life will never be the same after this experience and when I confronted them about it I was basically called a liar. read more
