Pain management doctor?

Hi Barbz,

Oh, don't be nervous and embarrassed, I use one. I suffer from chronic back pain (numerous herniated discs) and take Oxycodone. Not only did it help with the pain but having Crohn's disease, helped slow my bowels down. Helped far more than Imodium ever has.
In any case, pain management doctors will prescribe meds on a consistent basis whereas a family physician or Gastroenterologist will not.
You will have to sign a contract with them, have a drug test administered once a month to not only test you for recreational drugs but to ensure you're taking your prescribed meds. Don't want you selling them.
Just remember to of course take the meds as prescribed or even a little less to keep your tolerance down. This way the pain meds are effective when taken and you don't want to climb the ladder to stronger and stronger pain meds. Where you need to take them to stay out of withdrawals.
Good luck and hope you feel better.

The problem is that a lot of pain management specialists don't prescribe MMJ because of the narcotics they prescribe.  A pain management doctor I went to explained that he is under so much scrutiny with the DEA because of the nature of the narcotics he prescribes that it's easier for him to not even bother.
