The problem, is there are so many people that are addicts and looking for pain meds that the doctors dont know who to trust. I have 3 herniated discs and my dr told me there is no way for him to know how much pain im in, and that is the truth, everyone has a different pain tollerence level and something that hurt to death to me could not bother someone else, but if it hurts to death to me, why should I have to suffer and live that way? I would search for a new dr, but before you choose one, meet with a few and let them know you are meeting with a few drs. to see where you will be getting treatment before you make any decisions. The thing we need to realize is we pay them for their services, if they are not providing the right services for us, then we need to go elsewhere, just like you would if you were at a restaurant! Sorry, I feel and understand your pain!
