I too have the pain that nothing seems to work for, went thru the same thing recently with my doctor over my sleeping pills...it was like well they are addictive....my response....and your point would be? It is frustrating when the docs just don't get it...and trust me as a nurse I have been on both sides of this issue, since I'm now the one in pain! Oddly my doc prescribed oxycodone for ever for me...but it doesn't work,last time I jokingly threatened to move on to Heroin (I would never do this) but have you tried methadone or even marijuana?
