Re: Pain management docter?

[Guest guest]

And it's not clear what surgery you had, or how long ago, and or what pain

meds you were taking, how often, and the dosage etc.

I have had surgery but now docters don't want to give me any pain meds but

I still hurt!!! Do pain management docs give pain pills after you have had

surgery personally tired of wasteing my time and being treated like drug

addict when they have medical documentation that I'm messed up.

MJ,

Pain management Dr's vary in terms of what and how much medication they will

prescribe. Some states are more conservative than others. If you feel you

need pain medicaton its probably the best place to go but be willing to try

other therapies too. The drugs may help the pain but they dont help to heal

the problem. Depending on what that is it may be possible to improve with

time.

Peace,

Di

Do you have any history of drug addiciton?  Alcohol?  Most surgeons are happy to

treat the " acute " pain.  Once the pain becomes chronic or dysfunctional you

should definately see a pain management doc.  When one enters pain management to

get the most out of it you have to commit whole heartedly.

Hi,

You mention that your surgery was screwed up, how long ago did you have surgery?

How do you know that it got screwed up, have you had a follow up MRI since

surgery to find out why you are in pain? If your current Surgeon does not want

to do the MRI, you need to go for a second opinion so that way someone can tell

you what went wrong.

Pain Management Doctor's do provide medication for people in pain, but that is

not all they do. Depending on what the problem is the PM Doc might suggest

epidural injections, facet blocks, PT, etc.... So you need to come in to the PM

Doc with some kind of diagnosis. IE: I had a spinal fusion in 07, the fusion

failed, this was confirmed by another Neurosurgeon that I went to for a second

opinion, he then send me to pain management, after 4 more surgeries to fix the

issues, many injections, PT, facet blocks, etc. I am on pain meds now, but there

was a diagnosis and a consultation with another surgeon. You need to get your

ducks in a row, and then see what a PM Doc can do for you. Take care and good

luck with the process....

[Guest guest]

MJ,

What kind of surgery did you have?

When did you have it?

Did the MRI after whatever surgery you had show the herniated disk at S1?
