Hi Laurasunshine:

Sorry to hear of the constant injuries. It sounds like you need to be more careful of your surroundings. There are no Doctors in this particular forum but if you go to the forum page at the top of this page, you will find an expert forum located on the right side of the page. I suggest that you get your question in early as the Doctor only accepts limited questions and they fill up fast.

My other suggestion is to get an MRI done if you can as Sandee suggested. Talk with your Doctor about the possibility. I'm sure that if the pain continues he would be happy to do one. The MRI with contrast would be the best option. It gives a better picture of any problem that might arise.

Please take care and be careful...no more injuries.

I am sorry to hear you are going through so much at this time.  I think sandee1818 gave you some excellent advice.  I can't think of anything I can add to that.

I hope you get some answers soon.  Good luck.

Hi,
Wow you have had an eventful life with all these injuries.
I know this was not part of your question but you should obtain an attorney for being fired as that illegal.
You need to have an MRI , have you had one done?
This will answer alot of your questions. I am not familiar with the area you live in as I am in Columbia county Fl.
Others here may be able to help with referring you to a doctor in your area. The hospitals usually have referral lines you should try this.
The recurrent cysts may be from injury or something else and you need to have a CT scan done to find out whats going on there.
Keep us updated and let us know how your doing.
