Pain Management doctor can become your best friend. You just have to be patient and find the right one. The first two I went to were pill pushers. I actually had a woman who kept nodding off while checking one day. I told the receptionist that doc needs to cut back on that woman's pills. That was the last time I went to that office. The third office I went to was a charm. They have the best staff and don't just freely give stuff away.
