I am fortunate to have a Pain Specialist who presecribes the necessary meds. He is very much aware of the pain we go thru. As previously mentioned; the only chance is seeing a doctor specializing in pain. The surgeons, intenists, will not give the heavy meds needed for this type of pain. Your internist may be able to refer you to someone; but again will not likely prescribe.
