Besides Pain Meds?
I recently had a follow up app. with my surgon, who operated on my left ankle on Oct of last year. I had ankle reconstruction surgery. I also suffer from RSD, which over the summer calmed down enough surgery became somewhat of an option. Being my only choice I said I wanted to go through with it. Now almost 3 months into it I'm still taking Oxycodon (sp?). I asked for a new script and he gave me this "speach" about still taking the pills and fear of addiction. But he gave me the ok to start PT and with the amount of pain I am still in I felt it was needed for me to get a new script, which I eventually did. He suggest that I get in contact with my neurologist to see if there is anything he can do for me or something else he can have me take instead of a pain killer. I'm sure there are other options out there, I'm just looking for some information to bring to the table for when I eventually seee my neurologist.
