I hear you, but I don't know what we're supposed to do.

I was getting tramadol - 4 per day, big woohoo. Then I went to refil and my pain clinic is gone. No warning, no referal to abother clnic, nothing. I'm out of tramadol. My pcp is out of the country for 3 weeks and can't ever get in to see neuro for 3 months.

Great.

It took me two years to develope a report with that pain doc. I hate starting over.

The thing isn't what will work for pain, but who will RX it? Why do they call it a pain clinic if they don't address our pain issues?



Why do they let us go home, appt after appt, with NOTHING? We've tried all the anti depressants. We've tried all the OTCs. Would we really keep humiliating ourselves by going back if we did not need help?

Ugh... Well, what goes around comes around. Those docs that do not help will find themselves in our shoes, and nobody will help them either, if there is any justice.
