So I see my pain doc tomorrow. Follow up for the last shot I had. He said if that shot didn't work, the next option would be minimally invasive outpatient surgery.

My main concern right now is the level of pain... so I wanted to ask a question... he doesn't prescribe narcotics because I have a history of addiction, but my pain level is unbearable at this point. I'm talking I would rather be dead than be in this much pain. I just don't know if I should tell him that... the pain is bringing me to tears, making me gasp for air, and nearly making me collapse, all daily. I can't keep going like this.
