No recommendation here! Now in more pain than when I began seeing him.

I went in for lower lumbar pain to both left and right side, now my entire back, neck and left shoulder/arm hurts since ...the last epidural where I wasn't given any pain blocker . I was forced to undergo anesthesia the 2nd epidural and awakened in pain in the neck / arm/ shoulder which had nothing to do with my lower left lumbar. The 3rd epidural was the worst, he held the needle in my spine while I screamed in pain, yes, I was screaming and he didn't remove the needle. I finally gave in to anesthesia and came to 40 minutes later with my entire back, neck, arm/should in pain. Arm had bruising! I believe that this was done at the behest of the workers comp ins. carrier as they have fought my case. Even my employer lied about how I was hurt at work (according to my attorney). Also, my attorney indicated that they insurance company wanted nothing to do with my left lower lumbar. Clearly, additional injuries were put into place for the benefit of the insurance co. more details
