He then goes on to say that if the first block didn't take, that I shouldn't have another, something I thought all along but everyone else including his own employees said I should stick with. And then, he says in order to get another script of percocet (pretty much the only thing keeping me from the street right now), and a consult with him tomorrow, I have to submit to a drug test. So whatever, I already wrote cannabis on my check in paper, so I **** in this cup just so I can meet with him tomorrow to tell him how much of a f*****g c***s*ck** he is. He said all of this in a very domineering tone as if I'm not a man.
And yes, my mom was there, but I wish she wasn't I woulda stabbed that *** **** with his own horse needle.
And sorry for my language edits but that's the only way I can convey my emotion here
And I live in Albany.

Dan,
Sorry to here you felt treated so badly. PM is a funny business it can be a great help and or it can make you worse. You want someone who is going to watch out for you in regards to medications. To me thats a smart doctor anyone can write a script. So my advice to you is to take it down a notch and try and work with this doctor if you and your Mom think he's good and can help you. There's not a
respected PM Doctor who will work with anyone who is arrogent and nasty. They are to affraid of losing there license. Unfortunitly, many abuse there medication, use it recreationally try and get in sooner, thats not what PM is. You stated you where an athlete, if I where you before you go to your appt. today move your body if you can even if you walk 25 feet in front of your house/apt. and try and relaxe. As an athlete you know how good your body can feel when it moves. Exercise for me is something I have to do everyday to beat this beast. I go to gym 3 times a week and walk the others I can't do everything but if I didn't do it I would be misreable. I could not do all this when I was going through 7 surgeries, 3 ketamine procedures etc. when I first had my accident. My problem in upper extremety so it's easier but I do have a slight spread of RSD to my back like I stated in my first post.
I told you before I have a 20 yr old son he was also a althete from 7-18, played ice hockey. We traveled around the Albany area all the way to Lake Placid. He hasn't picked up his stick but for 1 time since his last varsity game he just had had it. But the point is he feels the effect on his body from not working out all the time, being on the ice 7 days a week blah, blah. The point is excercise helps RSD. When you get time today look up Dr. Sherry in Philadelphia. He is a pediatric RSD Spec. He has a very interesting take on RSD and how to cure it,especially for young people up to 18. I believe the University of Chicago is working on a simular treatment for adults. Just read it.
I see alot of my son's friends who I have heard display behavior such as you described in your post.Again my son's know angel but never displayed that kind of behavior. Its tough for young adults today I definitly get it but there's no excusse for that kind of behavior. First it increases your stress which will flare any kind of medical condition not just RSD. So like I said before take it down a notch, try and get some kind of body movement so you feel a little better before you see this doctor today. If he is willing to work with you,you need to show him you are responsible.
Dan, good luck today. You need someone to work with you so you have to work with them.
KEEP US POSTED.
