Re: Arm Pain/Drug Addict

[Guest guest]

I saw my doctor yesterday, he took my

blood and ordered an X-ray of my right

shoulder. My arm pain is getting very

bad. Both arms. He told me to take 2-3

Motrin, along with my Hydrocodone to see

if it helps the pain. If X-ray is

normal, he'll send me for an MRI.

I am in so much pain, and some people

don't believe me. :-( I am tired of

being looked at and thought of as some

sort of drug addict. Especially by my

family. Mom, mostly.

Ok, pain is getting unbearable.

Stay well everyone.

I'll pop in when I feel better.

Eternal Blessings,

Meg.

Meg -

I am so sorry they can't seem to find a way to combat your arm pain.

I can't stand it when people don't believe we are in pain. Some folks

seem to think since I can't move around that much, I can't really

injure myself. But I swear I can injure myself just by doing

something simple by typing too much!

I have been on Pain meds for several years now do to my back. I had

a car wreck 11 years ago and broke my back in 2 places and the L-5 is

turned sideways and my shoulder-blades are full of trigger points. I

have X-rays and MRI's done and the problems are very obvious I hate

going to the Pain Management Doctor although they make me feel very

comfortable and not like a drug addict and I have been with this

office for 4 years now minus a short time I lived in Kansas and have

never run out early or lost or had my Rx " Stolen " so that helps. I

also use the same pharmacy bc they know me well and don't give me

dirty looks and make phone calls every time I come in like some other

places and the dirty looks I don't like being treated like that.I

take (3)40 mg Oxycotin and (6)10/325 Perocet and Valium 10 mg as a

muscle relaxer. I hate every bit of it but theirs not much I can do.

I do know you have to be blunt with the doctors and tell them it is

not working and if won't budge find another doctor. I use to take (2)

Tylenol with with the hydrocodone when I was on them I know it sounds

funny but it helped. I hope they figure it out for you.
