I think a huge frustration with this is what works for one may not for another. Also weighing the long term issues that come with some meds vs what is going on now. I know last year at my bed rest crying pain I just wanted relief and could care less about addiction so on.
To the poster hae you went to a pain managment doc? They may help more with a long term plan that is what I have found
Daniella - My GP did refer me to a pain med doc. Apparently, I was sent to the "wrong kind" as he said his speciality was injections. Although I have no neck or back pain he ordered an MRI of the spine. (I have also had MRIs of the brain and neck). He said if the issue was in my spine then he may be able to help. So...I need to start another search for a pain specialist. How do I know if I have the right kind of pain specialist?
