I too had a bad experience with a "pain management" doc. To make a long story short, she refused to prescribe any meds for me (I was only asking to try amitriptylene). I am certain that she was punishing me for not going along with their $$$$ group PT/OT/counseling program. Before I refused the program, she was talking about Methadone. After, it was "no, I don't think I will prescribe anything for you."

I fired her.
