Review of Veterans Administration Medica...

Would be a 5, but my last experience cut that back...

Would be a 5, but my last experience cut that back to half that. It was that bad.

I had pulled out my back and was in a severe amount of pain. I can t even describe it but I couldn t move, I couldn t roll, I could barely walk, couldn t stand straight and sitting was just as bad. I can typically handle a high amount but this was beyond my ability to cope with. I could not even reach around to wipe my behind! AND I had a colonoscopy prep scheduled for that night.
I went in, literally in tears, asking for help. Im terribly disappointed in their idea of pain management. Not only did they not give anything that helped for pain, they gave me a strong muscle relaxer which clearly had an counter productive effect on the prep. Ended up going through the prep in unbearable pain and to make the icing on the cake, the prep was unsatisfactory and I have to do it again. I want to give a one star based on that experience alone but they have other services that are fine. Just expect to stay in pain if you are in pain. It s torture but you won t get the help you seek. At least I didn t. End of story.
