Bulging Disc for 4 years need advice. Misdiagnosed!?!


Question: Bulging Disc for 4 years need advice. Misdiagnosed!?
I have had severe pain in my butt area for 4 years since the birth of my last son. Since then I was put on permanent disability. I have begged and pleaded for someone to find the problem. I started getting medi-care since Dec 09. I changed doctors and medical group. I now have a sutter physician. She did an x-ray on me in jan 10 and found out I have moderate arthritis and a degenerative sacriolliac joint. I am allergic to NSAIDS so can't do anything for the arthritis I am on 60mg a day oxycontin for the pain and now radiating down my legs since the past year getting worse. I did a MRI 2 days ago the results say I have a bulging disc in the L-5 ans S-1 area. plus arthritis and a hemangiomata. In the past I have of course taken pain meds, physical therapy, chiro, heat treatment trigger point injections or steroid injections. Now I dont know what my options are or what I should do to relieve the pain. It is getting where the oxycontin is not helping much anymore and my doc does not want to change or increase it. I see her on mar 3, 2011 to discuss. What should I suggest? Also because I was misdiagnosed and told it was in my head and my previous doctors refused to help me do I have a neglegence or malpractice case. I am in tears daily. Now deal with major depression and social anxiety also avoidance personality disorder all due to this happening. What should I do? All opinions appriciated.

Medical Malpractice can be extremely difficult to prove but if you are in that much pain, something defintely doesn't seem right. it certainly can't hurt to speak with a medical malpractice attorney. Most of them should off you a free consult and then you will know what your options are for sure.
