OMG!! This doctor needs reporting! I don’t know the consequences of having so many shots, but there is a limit of 3-4 for a reason. I know how you feel though, I am a long term back pain sufferer, and I have a child for myself. Do you go to a pain management clinic? If not, you really should try get to one, they really do help, not just with the pain, but also grant psychological help with dealing with the pain, which you most certainly need. Anyone will tell you that chronic pain also makes psycological problems. I see a psycologist at my pain management focal point, and I really do feel the benefits of considering him.
If it is a pm clinic that has being charitable you these shots, you must seek a second opinion. We trust our doctors and don’t reckon they could possibly be dishonest, but unfortunately there are bent ones just like there are in any other profession.
Please seek another place to go. Are they even treating you for your depression? It doesn’t sound like it.
Stay strong, your kids need you, but don’t delay. Your pp maybe able to refer you to a more reputable pm clinic.
Let me know how it goes, your tale has really shocked me.
Excellent luck
