Hi Jackie,

I'm very concerned about the drugs I'm on. They keep my pain at a point where I'm not screaming in the grocery store (too often). However, I'm on a VERY HIGH dose and I've heard this can cause pain in the long run.

I tried to cope without medication, but I was a spasming, screaming mess. I have a small child and I have to hold it together. In my case, I wonder if part of the problem is that my neuro won't refer me to a pain specialist and insists on doing his own doping. Frankly, I think he's way out of his depth.

Cheers
