Robyn O'Donnell's interview
How did all start?
Injured as passenger on bus crash in Pasco FL!
Do you already have a diagnosis? How long did it take you to get it?
Yes, bilateral knees and bilateral hips.
For what medical specialties have you been treated? What has been the most useful specialty for your?
I have been through 7 doctors from FL and NJ. NO help at all. Nothing helped.
What has been the most useful thing for you so far?
Nothing.
What have been your biggest difficulties?
Chronic pain and discomfort with lack of sleep. Stopped working 1 year ago and now I am going back to running my company and I have to start from ground zero during Corona Virus. It is the most frustrating disease on the planet with no specialists to treat the pain. And I am furious at all the doctors who in NJ do not give any pain medications since the opiod abuse. I have not had pain medication in 5 years and now I need it more than ever. NJ is ridiculous. FL was never a problem. Injections will never work for AVN and that is how I got the AVN and that is all they want to do in NJ.
How has your social and family environment reacted? Have your social or family relationships changed?
Not at all.
What things have you stopped doing?
Everything literally. Even working.
