I have to drive for my job so have to be careful to that I am not impaired by the medications,. BUT pain is stopping my enjoyment of life and effecting my work life too.
So which kind of doctor has helped you most? Neuro, rheumy, primary ?
Thanks for your support.

Hi again, you asked witch Dr helped me the most. It has really been more than one working together. First my primary Dr referred me to a pain management specialist who prescribed the proper amount of medication to help with my pain . My Psychiatrist is the Dr who probably saved my life by prescribing the Lyrica before I could get into the specialist witch took almost 3 yrs now I do have so much more of my life back and can function at a normal pace most day's, this mnth so far I have had more good day's than bad which is a first. Please let me know how you make out, don't worry about the Drs thinking you have drug seeking behaviour because you don't you have to fight for yourself first that is something I have learnt maybe tell you Dr you don't want them to think that and that it bothers you they might. Good Luck
