But.....I met a wonderful RN that has previously worked for a pain mgmt. dr who runs a clean office and is a nice dr. So maybe the good Lord sent me there to get that reference since the pain mgmt. dr I saw on Monday had a very dirty office.
Thanks for much for your help yesterday. With my husband's insistence I took my pain pill every 4 hours today and that really helped. I'm just so stubborn about taking them unless I'm really hurting.
Thanks again....Debi

Pain management really is a quality of life issue. If taking your pain meds helps you to enjoy your life and function better it is important to take them. That is their purpose. Do not let anyone make you feel like it is somehow better to suffer and avoid taking meds if they can help you.
Good luck with the new doctor.
