You are right, they do not listen! Like you I told multiple medicos about my symptoms, the burning pain that prevented me from sleeping-that required constant icing, the feeling that I was walking on broken bones, the pain moving, that a tiny, hard crumb felt like a boulder and could throw my balance off. I screamed when I took a shower. None of this is in the notes. Not one word. It is as if they,as group, decided that what I reported to them was of no value.

I begged for pain help repeatedly, but got nothing, worse I was treated like a drug addict and I believe there is a hidden report written at the beginning of this misery saying I am a drug seeker. I am 65 years old with no history of drug use. I don't smoke or drink either. It boggles my mind that not one of the doctors I saw, did not think it was odd, based on my history, that I was in extraordinary pain begging for relief.

Today I am mixing up my first batch of low dose naltrexone, with naltrexone pills. It is hard for me to believe I live in the USA, pay privately for healthcare and in order to get relief I have to buy a drug and mix it myself. If I want medical marijauna I have to pay a private MJ doctor $260, register with the state $50 and then go to the only dispensary in the state which is miles away from where I live so I can spend another $300 or so to get pain relief. There is something so wrong with this! But I have no other choice.
