Hi Moosey!

I'm sorry that you're struggling both with BP and with inadequate pain control. Lack of proper pain control for what we have ticks me off... bad. I'm sorry but if you're in the medical profession, and you're in the business of treating a Pt.'s PAINFUL disease, then treat it. If not, then don't take on these types of Pt.'s and refer them to someone who can help them.

My pain has not been managed properly for a while now and I'm regressing and praying that this doc I see on Friday is a step in the right direction to getting regular relief.

After reading your post I went here http://www.rsds.org/4/resources/pain...hysician_.html

Then from there I went here http://www.medsch.wisc.edu/painpolic...ix.htm#NewYork

I thought this was an excellent site! Easy to navigate with their interactive map. When on their site, scroll down and you'll see the US map, the just click on your state.

I hope you feel better soon and are able to get the relief you NEED and deserve.
