I am glad my SCS trial was unsuccessful. My Pain Specialist continues to ask me to do another trial. I continue to decline. He has mentioned that I am fortunate that he is not like some doctors, who if ther patient does not do what is recommended, they will not continue to prescribe pain medication to their patients. I can't help but wonder if the $$$$ are not the reason he keeps asking. I do like him; but this does concern me.

Before he said this, it had never dawned on me that he might withhold my med prescriptions. My husband feels he did not mean it that way; but I had never before thought this could happen until he mentiond this to me. Like...why did he even bring this up??? Being on 60mg's Oxycontin every 6 hrs. for 240mg's daily and 7.5mg's percocet for breakthru; the thought of being refused my prescriptions, is frightening.
