Guest guest Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Hi Pam, Good luck with your new Doc. and he will realize that you need relief from your pain ! I've always said ," that if you could snap your fingers and let them feel what you are feeling day after day, if only for a few minutes," They would be more accomodating. MAYBE ! I am on vicodin for pain......and I tend to go without it as long as I can before taking more. I'm so afraid that I will start to abuse it, then where would I be without my Pain Meds. So far I manage to have a few more doses left when it's time to refill every month. I did have one Doc. ask in amazement,"You take 120 of these every month?" Did you realize that these are addicting?" Re: pain mng. I am still in a battle with my md's about my pain management. I too have never abused meds in the past , and yet the drs still will not give me anything stronger than motrin. Even celebrex takes some of the edge off, but my insurance will not pay for it and say it needs a prior authorization...well, I have been working with my dr's for this authorization for months now. In the mean time, I can hardly get around and never mind sleep. I may dose for about 1-2 hours, then I am awakened by horrible joint and muscle pain. I go see another newer dr I am working with on Friday, plz say a prayer that he listens and I get some relief. For petes sake, my last sed rate was 80, obviosly I have inflammation going. Normal is 0-20!!! I am totally frustrated over this and I am strting to lose my "cheerful" disposition. Any ideas for me out there? Thanks for listening, Pam> In a message dated 2/23/2004 9:33:31 PM Pacific Standard Time, > lyle-cheryl@c... writes:> Avinza> I am getting all my records together now and i am gonna try the pain mng dr. > if that don't work out i will go to a new doctor then.
