It took me years to find a dr to treAt my pain. Now he can't practice til further notice.that was back in june 2011.still closed. I went to a pain mgnt office in eht nj. Where I live and put me on low dose percs & a couple 10 mgs methadone.and took away one pill every o
Month.I stayed with the methadone10mgs 2aday.only because of its half life.wouldn't have any wd from such a low dose. I'm sure it would happen with only 2/ 10 mg percocet.anyway here is a quick story to show u guys my problem. I'm an iron worker in ac nj.I had a fall in 08. Shattered heel . Comp fracture in my back.& severely broken wrist.it took me 12 months of rehab 4 days a week for. 4hours aday. Cause of the.3 injuries. Anyway I couldn't under stand why I had so much pain still.I was on alot of opiates when I went back to work.after a year of that my pain was so bad and I didn't get off the couch for 3 months.rsd took over every organ of my body. Took 16 drs and 3years later to finally see dr scwartzmann. Kettamine treatments outpatient 10 days.I lost 23 pounds in the 2 weeks from that kett. Injs.that was in august of 2011.now I'm waiting for my workers comp to see if they can pay for more.I paid them up in two this point but now I cant afford anymore.paid 8000, so far.I was on 30mgs x4 oxycodone. Methadone70 mgs aday .and duragesic patch the year I was working.my new pm is a nurse practioner and doesn't really understand rsd and is a *****. I saw dr gettson two weeks ago and I love the guy,what a great attitude.he knew everything about my disease.he said he gives 120mgs or more if methadone. to his patients and to find someone else til my disability Or workers comp judgement .and I can see him. On thus dose now I have no life.atleast befor I could do a couple things I could do once in awhile and not have the pain.any suggestions.I'm sure all of u know how hard it is to find the rite dr.I wish all of you the best and healthiest life possible.I know and feel what all of u r go n thru.I stayed off of meds for 8 months befor I was diagnosed with rsd and it was hell. Then I had my gull bladder and stones removed cause of the severe abdominal pain.I didn't know it wasted at the time. But it is a fact . That living with rsd on the rite medicine makes life so much better then being without it and in pain and depression all the time. Anyway . I love all of you and hope you have proper medical treatment.
