Thunderbear,

I went through what you are going through being TOLD to deal with intolerable pain and that my pain was all in my mind, UNTIL I finally went to a Pain Management Specialist who understood. I have been going to pain management specialist for 6 years now and have been on Opiate Prescription Therapy and take Oxymorphone and Roxicodone on a routine basis and am getting ready to have a pain pump inserted surgically into my body to deliver the powerful Narcotic Medications I NEED to live a comfortable and humane life. I also have Degenerative Disc DISEASE!! and as my pain management Doctor says EVERYONE is an individual and all have a different tolerance for pain. One MRI may show there should be no pain but they treat us as individuals not statistics. I would suggest that you go to a Pain Management Center who specializes in strictly Pain Control, not more Psysical Therapy that did not help for me or is helping not for you and get some relief girl. You need relief and I would be angry too. I would be and was pissed as hell. I would also suggest that you get an MRI as not much will show up on an x-ray.

An MRI is the only way to see all the damage. You might be surprised how much more damage is there, they found that not only do I have Kyposis of the C spine but Stenosis of the C spine in 3 different places. Don't let one doctor and your auntie tell you that your not in pain when you know dam well that you are, this just burns my behind cause I know how hard it is to have severe MI and Chronic Pain and all.

You might even ask for Demerol. It works quite better for pain than NSAIDS AND Tordol. I hate as hole doctors who have no compassion.

I do hope you find your way to a doctor. Who will give you relief. Se up the fight. And don't believe every article you see on the internet.

God Bless and Keep your spirits up, Chris
