Hello Buster,

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Dealing with pain can be really tough and it means so much that you shared how it's impacting your life.

Although the provider in your story is not currently active on Care Opinion, we will reach out to them and invite them to engage with your feedback. Even if they are unable to respond, your story helps others feel encouraged to share their own experiences, creating an opportunity for meaningful change in the healthcare system.

Your story matters, and we are grateful to you for sharing it.

Warmly,
The Care Opinion Moderation Team
