Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 You mentioned a lot of the same pain meds I am on. Do you take all those at the same time or as needed at different times? How much does your dr allow you? My dr is a bit stingy and I have to suffer a lot to make them last? I hate to ask for more when I know he is only concerned with my becoming addicted. I know I am not, I only take them when the pain gets so bad I cant take it anymore. thanks, diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 I have had several md's be very stingy with the pain meds, and even come right out an tell me that " You are addicted, you can not possibly hurting, that much. That it the times when the Md really sees me at my finest, I completely go off on him, telling him, WHO does he think he is telling me how I'm feeling, if he caan not even have enough compassion in his self to understand thta there are areas that he has no clue over, such as how much pain a person is in, then why is he PRACTICING medicine. I usually follo my speach to him when I get home with a letter to the State Medical Licensing board filing a complaint. You would be supprised how well you get treated from that point on. The name of the GAME is SELF Advocation of Adequate and Approiate Medical Treatment, which does include Pain control. Yes I can be a very big PAIN in their behind!!!

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2001 Report Share Posted February 14, 2001 In response to your question as to how I take my meds, I usually take them all together, three to four times a day, that way I do not loos the efectiveness of say the muscle relaxant but have the pain control. Retting my muscles back into their relaxed state from spasm is NOT easy as we aall know.
