Chemar stole the words right out of my mouth. If your new doctor is so reuctant to have your pertinent records faxed, you should call your old doc and have them faxed yourself.

I have a strange condition, and because it's so hard to diagnose I've been to 27 doctors and specialists so far. Some are very reluctant to prescrible pain meds without an established record to cover their butts. Others care more about the patient. If the new doc you are seeing is one of the former, I'd try to find another right away. And in the meantime, as so many others have said, if I was in so much pain I would go to the ER. Congress passed a law last year which made pain one of the things that they cannot refuse to treat.

I sure hope you get this straightened out soon, and get back to at least some level of "normalcy". Sending you prayers and all my best wishes...
