My depression is getting worse along with the pain. I am now looking for a pain mgmt. doctor. I would like one that has additional services like mental health.
Maybe we can get some suggestions from the others on here.
Take care.

Debi,
it is best to have a Pain regular management doctor. I have had my current doctor at least 5 or 6 years. I have had three surgeries since I start going to hiim. I make sure he is on staff at the same hospital the surgeon is doing the surgery or procedure. In all three of my sugeries, my surgeon turned the management of my pain medication to the PMdoctor. But of course, he has too be on staff at the same hospital. This way you are sure to get your regular mediation along with the medication needed to the pain of the procedure. I just read Pam email of 9/24. I am so sorry I didn't realize she did not have her pain doctor. Right now she in the hospital and has been on withdrawal for the past two days.
I feel badly for her.
