The last meds he had me on worked great after taking it for two weeks....i had little to no pain at all, and then all of a sudden, its like someone cut my arm off.
I've never had meds work for a period of time then not work. For me they either work or they don't. Maybe you should make monthly appts or at least 6-8 weeks just to keep him updated. You don't want to suffer while waiting for the next appt.
