We get it. You are now in a place of fellow human beings who walk in each other's shoes and know a thing or two about pain.
As a matter of fact, I just came home from a neuropathy support group meeting and we had a pain management specialist. He did a demonstration and lecture on the Spinal Cord Stimulator and he spoke about the next step if that doesn't work. A pump that uses a catheter in the spinal fluid. Never knew about that one. It pumps pain meds directly into the spinal fluid and because of how it's done, a person needs less pain meds so they have less side effects.
I learned lots from tonight's meeting.
So here's hoping that if you get to see a pain management specialist, he just might be able to suggest a thing or two.
Take care

that sounds great, but my concern now is that since he said he wants me to see a pm dr. he is not going to prescribe my next rx of pain meds, which is tues. They only do rx pick up on thurs, and I left a msg yesterday asking them to mail it since I didnt need it till tues, and I dont think they did. I spoke with the office today and they said I can not see the other dr I was seeing in the practice, he assigned my patient file to the surgeon, well the surgeon doesnt want to do surgery so I wanted to go back in and the first dr I was seeing. She said I cant I have to see the surgeon, he is my dr. now and that there is a note that someone is calling me monday. Dso Im concerned that they are calling to say he told you he wanted you to go to pain managment, we arent writing anymore rx, you need to go to pain managment. And everything Ive read up about the oxycodone I take says to never stop suddenly, and now I feel I will be forced to do so and have to face the consequences, and suffer through the reactions. Im very scared at what is going to happen to me with stopping this medicine abruptly as well has still being in pain and not able to use my right hand to pick anything up. Is he even allowed to stop my medicine that way?
