New Hanover Regional Medical Center at 2131 S 17th Street, Wilmington, North Carolina.

When I arrived there I was in quite a bit of pain. I have been suffering from a pinched nerve for a while now and it can be very painful. This time the pain was too unbearable to tolerate which is why my roommate convinced me to go to the ER.

The wait time was actually not too bad, however, when I was seen they took my BP, heart rate and temperature.
I let the nurse know about my pinched nerve.

When the doctor saw me, without any other tests I was told I had a muscle spasm. I was given pain medication and sent home.
The pain medication did nothing for my pain which lead me to believe that muscle medicine may not treat nerve pain.
I was able to get a hold of a cervical traction pillow which almost immediately took care of the pain without the use of any medication.

I understand that the ER staff is probably very tired and has seen hundreds of patients day and night but now I will receive an ER bill for a misdiagnose and medicine that didn't help.

I feel that by being a bit more thorough I could have avoided spending money on unnecessary medication.
