Really though you need to get your doctor to do correct pain control so you don't have to visit the E.R. Sounds like that is happening. Maybe you got there attention by continuing to seek pain control without giving up.

The ER is NOT the place for those with chronic conditions to deal with the basic management of their conditions. It's called the EMERGENCY Room for a reason.
I hope that CRPS songbird's docs have finally found a good combo for her. I also hope they are committed to learning how to effectively manage her pain on an ongoing basis using appropriate services.
