Veronica,
My thoughts and prayers are with you!
I know how you feel about having to see the old doctor until you get in with
the new one.
Honestly, What I have done in this situation is gone to the ER. If you are
in that much pain and it is to the point where you can't handle it anymore,
seek relief at the ER. Also, if you do decide to seek relief at the ER, make
sure they call your current doctor and the new one. That is what I do, to
let them know that I am not kidding about the pain.
I pray that you find relief quickly!
Angel Hugs,
Wanda
