Dr. Christopher John Voscopoulos, MD

I sincerely like this doctor as a person. He's warm and friendly and I have the sense that he really cares about my pain issues. I have disc degeneration in my spine, my entire spine, not just the lower back which he has treated twice with steroid injections into my spine. These spinal epidural injections are very painful in and of themselves, and unfortunately this doctor will not, as much as I beg him, provide me with adequate pain relief prior to the injections, which are given in the OR. The first epidural worked for several months.The second one only lasted about 2 weeks, tops. My pain is unmanageable by me. The only thing that helps is daily exercise, but I'm in so much pain I can't walk the 3-4 miles 3-4 times per week that I used to do before I had a horrendous fall down a concrete staircase in May of 2018. Before the "opioid crisis" my chronic pain was handled very nicely with Percocet. I never abused it; it allowed me to have a life, which I no longer have. I suppose Dr V is… afraid to prescribe pain meds, I don't know. All I can say is I'm frustrated with the constant agony and I hope he'll be able to suggest something more appropriate when I see him again in a week.

Repulsive, Untrustworthy

Thank you Dr. Voscopoulos
