I am so sorry that your doctor will not listen. Try a physiosist. They can and do treat for pain. My doctor I researched along with four others. Believe me I interviewed them, not them interview me. My quality of life is at stake, and I needed pain meds. just like you do. She was very attentive right from the start. I do get pain control. In fact, she gave more than what I am using. I have the choice if I want to take extra or not. Please try this kind of physician, and start interviewing, psysiosist, or a pain specialist. Good doctors are around if you look. Bring your meds with you to appts. and a chart if you can to document all your symptoms. I hope you find the help you need. I wish you all the best. Let me know what happens. ginnie
