Once again greed ruins it. I just hate the way if you have chronic pain you are looked at by medical community as some kind of drug seeking addict. If you depend on a med to help you stay functional...
I love this, I think I will try using it. I have so much pain so much of the time that I cannot manage without the pain meds. I manage it and function, having the meds allow me to grin and bear it...
At times it can be difficult to get your medical records particularly if you are going to continue to use the same doc, often they charge (sometimes a little sometimes a lot) for each page copied....
had one many years ago (like in the 70's) was awful, I am sure that they must have gotten better since then, but when I had mine the little puncture didn't heal right so I leaked spinal fluid, most...
I had signed a contract with a doctor who used to be at the same clinic as the doc who did the ua but the doc I signed the contract with up and left. The doc who did the ua saw me one time and told...
:confused: I am unclear what you mean by so long? The UA was just given today. I don't know about being fired this doctor made it clear when I saw her for the 1st and only time that the MS Contin...
I guess whats done is done and will have to wait and see. I guess if she comes back and tells me I will ask for another test and the second one will be clean. I have never done this before and...
Does this mean 100% i will lose my pm. I know I screwed up wont happen again never has happened before....

:shakehead: Hi All, hope someone can help with this. I am a chronic pain patient and take morphine ER, gabapentin, and robaxin for chronic back issues. I broke my ankle a couple of weeks back and...
went to see the new doc lady again got mostly good answers to my questions. told her I would do the switch at the end of month after important week long working trip, didn't want to adjust to new...
I would certainly talk to my doctor about it. One of the questions I am commonly asked is if I have any loss of bladder/bowel control. If it is new and unusual it would be a good thing to get the...
I have never had them myself but do have a friend that has botox injections for chronic migraines and swears by them....
Seems to me congress makes laws that make docs afraid to treat with what you need and what works for you. Docs don't want the gov to take away licenses ect so they are trying to balance what you need...
thanks all questions I thought of to ask the new pc when I see her what do you guys/gals think How willing are you to help me balance the needed relief with the ability to pay? How will we deal with...
Thank all of you for your responses. The new NP told me that she will not ever prescribe for breakthrough pain because a long acting doesn't need it. Willing to try what she suggests as she is the...
New to forum: Have been using a NP for several years who is now quitting and she sent me to the only other NP or doc in my town that will see a chronic pain patient. Had an appointment with the new...
