I'm sorry, Random, that you are dealing with chronic pain. You might try telling your current doctor that non-drug methods are just not working for you. If he tells you that's just too bad, then I would start doctor shopping.

I used to believe in being totally honest and up-front with doctors, but I've changed my mind. You have to be careful what you share. I would advise you to never mention your past use of marijuana again to any doctor. Somethings belong to the past and just don't have much to do with today.

I am on pain pills, and I am constantly afraid my doctor might stop ordering them. He's unpredictable. It causes me a lot of anxiety.

I hope your leg pain lessens. While you have it, you have a right to treatment for it that us effective.
