I refuse to be told that I don't have pain, to meditate instead,or increase the lyrica ( can't walk straight, drive, anything on higher doses).
What doctor s want is for you to go in there, shut up, not know a thing about your own body, and take the prescription, walk out, and not come back.
Sorry, but I will not stand for that kind of health care. Its disgusting.
And just so you have an idea,Susanne, I agreed to his taper plan, said that I would try the Cymbalta, and see him in a month. Not exactly hostile. And this IS a brand new doctor, because I moved to a different town.
I am allowed to have an opinion, and be angry with the way I have been treated.
I was also under the impression that this group was to be supportive. Perhaps you could rephrase your answers in the future so that they do not make the other person feel like they are being scolded by their mother.

I am on Oxycontin every 6 hrs. and Oxycodone (percocet) for breakthru so do understand the need to function in spite of terrible pain.

I think Suzanne, as well as myself, because of experience with the ways doctors seem to look for signs of abuse (doctors are really being held quite accountable these days themselves because of so much abuse) might be trying to help, not by judging; but by giving some insight to better help with ideas on how possibly to get doctor to better prescribe for you.

Living with chronic pain is very upsetting. Hope you soon have the necessary meds to make life at least tolerable.
