For someone reason in my opinion the biggest mistake Doctors make is not believing a patient when they say they are in pain. I don't know if its from that the patient is just seeking drugs or because, they are afraid of making an addict out of their patient. Or because, they actually think they know our bodies better than we do. But, most doctors in todays society are usually just too afraid and too distrusting of their patients because, of all teh negative conotations involved with prescribing pain meds.

My husband walked around in pain ( from his left hip and femur ) for 2 years and no matter how many times we would go to the doctor telling her, he is hurting so bad he can't sleep at night. He can't hardly walk etc...she would tell him to take some Motrin or Tylenol. Then of all things she ran tests on his stomach??!?!?!? what does the stomach have to do with hip and leg pain???? Did blood work dozens of times, always came back with abnormal red and white blood cell counts and liver panels all mess up. But, she just kept telling him to take tylenol. Finally after 2 years, we went in to talk to her again about his hip and leg. I got so mad, I raised my voice and yelled her to do something for him. She sent him for an xray. And guess what, they found a Tumor in his left femur that had almost eaten completely thru the bone. Needless to say he has better doctors now who listen to us. Oh she apologized and prescribed him some pain meds finally but, only enough to last a few days till his appt. with the cancer specialist.

I am sorry Wise that you are having to deal with Dr.s like that. The crappy thing is once Dr.s and or emergency rooms mark your files with pain med seeker or possible addict. You are more than likely never gonna be able to get the right amount or type of pain meds you need for your pain.

I can suggest you go to a new doctor and start fresh ( which can be a total pain in the rear. ) but, just tell them you are there for a second opinion. And don't sign papers for them to see files from your former Dr.

I hope things get better for you. Take care and be safe.
