Worker's comp is awful, and what I find amazing is that this same doctor prescribed pain medication, 20mg a day, two weeks before, and suddenly said "oh, they make your condition worse. I won't prescribe anymore". A total 180 from the previous visit. I wonder how much workers comp controls these doctors and their treatment of our conditions. My attorney wondered the same thing........
Anyway, thank you for your input as well. I really do appreciate it.
Hope you are all doing well, and having more "good" days than "bad"!!!!!

Hey again Pix!
Didn't realize you were dealing with WC, that certainly does complicate things. Thankfully I did not have to fight that fight, but have seen where so many on here have. I wonder too how much "influence" WC has over your dr/treatment. But if the treatment is bad and not working for you, then it is a fight worth fighting...your well being is worth the fight!! i wonder if her 180 has to do with WC or with all the drug issues going on. I have seen (on here) where some drs are refusing to prescribe any opiates...umm, really? I would be saying goodbye doc!!
And thanks, but unfortunately I am having more bad days than good here lately
Hope that printed material helps you out!!
