You are right, your quality of life is being compromised. Maybe it is time to let someone in the medical field see you with a hollar or two. I did cry to my doctors Emily. I did find a doctor who could help but it took a bit of doing. It can be done and you can get some quality of life restored. Pain specialists do allow narcotics if needed. There is also an IV type therapy, and suppliments. Please keep seeking better help. ginnie

Thanks I live in *. In my state the "controlled substance" or Schedule 1 or 2 narcotics are very hard to get for a pain patient.
Even with a valid condition or illness, unless you have terminal cancer they don't want to prescribe you things like Oxycondone or Oxycontin (which I've never had). And if you try to complain "too loudly" they just label you a drug seeker and refuse to see you, I haven't been refused to be seen yet but I have been trying to be as patient as I can. I go to a low-income clinic and they get TONS or abusers in so it's hard for them to help us true pain patients, and I am seeing a physiatrist but they're trying to keep only one "prescribing" doctor.......That would be my PCP. Who apparently thinks 1 tramadol 50mgs every 12 hours is enough.....which it isn't and I've told him this.....so I'm at a loss......*admin edit*
