My husband says they need a machine you could hook up to the doctor and they'd be able to feel exactly what we feel. He thinks they'd all drop dead from the pain. I agree. Why are they all so worried about addiction? I'd rather be a functioning addict then what I am with all this pain.

Yet they all roll their eyes thinking we're exaggerating or we're trying to get more meds or we're somehow playing them. I wake up in pain, I go to sleep in pain and I will probably die in pain.

And until the DEA and other idiots are taken out of the doctor/patient loop we'll continue to have problems convincing our doctors of the level of pain we have. Or until we have the machine........How many doctors would continue to tell you "You'll need to learn to live with it"
