Default Hi painman

When treated poorly, it doesn't do a person good at all. Doctors forget to be compassionate sometimes. I hope the one that was kind to you will give you the medication. Methadone and all that class of drugs is not fun, but if it in any way helps you to have a quality of life, agree to it. I took morhpine for many years. I asked to be weaned off last year, when I thought my neck pain and ankle pain was tolerable. I had been told I would be on it all my life. That being said, if you do go on this medication, it will mean living your life around the times you can take it. Weaning off is miserable. The drug should help you and your RSD. Did the docs. mention Ketamine infusions? Sometimes this form of treatment works too.
I am sorry you were crying and so distressed. I have been in that sitaution too where I could not hold back crying.. I wish both of those doctors had treated you in the better way. I wouldn't see that doctor or let him treat me either after he showed that behaviour. Hope you have some help to get you into a better place. You are in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie
