I was going out of his office and I said collar for 6 weeks and he said no collar. I said the other doctor said 6 weeks and he said we will talk about it. The only chance to talk to me is before I am wheeled into surgery. Not going to happen.
I have been uneasy ever since as I want a collar. I have to speak up now before the surgery. I cannot do the surgery without a collar and I go to my family doctor Jan7th and will tell her this.
I will call the surgeon’s office and find out to.
If I don’t get a collar I will cancel as I will be the one suffering.
My family doctor will be upset with me if I cancel.
The second visit with the first NS he SAID I would get pins and needles before I was to become paralyzed unless a accident.
What do you think? Am I wrong in thinking this way? Is there a certain collar I should have….like hard or soft? Dr. Corenman
