Been there. Finally had anterior cervical disk fusion after 4 months of unrelenting pain about 15 years ago. Have done great since then. Hope you are feeling better soon!
Ertridoc - there should be some prize for having the first official comment on the new EMRAP web site - I guess you will have to be happy in the knowledge that you went where no ER doc has gone before - but hopefully many will follow....MEL
catching up on the last 6 months of EMRAP in preparation for board exam on Friday. The new site and the new program format are awesome! Am especially appreciating C3 segments. Thanks, Mel.
Glad your feeling better. I had the same thing in August. I had an epidural injection that worked wonders. I had to do my oral board review course doped up on valium and hydrocodone. It was a one on one review. The instructor thought I was an idiot until I explained how much medication I was on just to be able to be there. I'm pain free after 2 epidural injections.

Now just get the board to accept staying current with EMRAP as sufficient to sit for re-certification and you shall be the master Sir!!!
