Glad you responded to this post. I really think that there is going to be a crisis among pain patients. This whole business with the Gov. intervention is criminal. If my condition worsened, I am not sure what I would do, and thats the truth. There is only so much a person can take. This is sounding like the dark ages. If these docs. do surgery, and then provide no relief if it doesn't work, they are condemning people to a fate worse than not living. It sickens me when I hear of the suffering people are told to put up with. I for one would like to get a petition going for this state, any ideas? ginnie
