He said it targets my kind of pain and I asked him -then why didn't you prescribe it before? And he said because it's an opioid Sometimes, or oftentimes, doctors just don't get that it's not just a quality of life issue, it's a life and death issue and they should throw everything and anything at it until something sticks and not continue to allow the patient to be in such agony. Wow do I feel for you! I so hope you find relief! Take care.


It's so sad that we have to jump through so much BS to finally find a little bit of hope.

I quit going to the pain clinic over a year ago, only thing they "allowed" me was the lidocaine infusions.

I practically begged them for 3 pain pills a month .... A very stern NO ! Why ? They got my psych records.... twice I was IP mainly due to pain so that even scratched me off of 3 pills of anything as a last ditch attempt for some kid be of help, I was furious

I'm just angry but more so sad about the whole mess.

I am going ask my GP and Pdoc what they think my odds are.

Thanks so much for telling me your travels to finally find some relief !!!

((( hugs )))
