I am at my wits end but afraid to say anything because you know they already look at you as a drug seeker / addict if you complain of pain. I can't function in my life and haven't been for a long time. Good luck to you.

Hi Brian......wow, not to sound crass, but you are a medical mess! And you are only on MS Contin?????!!!!!! You definitely need to change doctors. What type of doctor are you seeing? I believe your best chance of any help would be with a Physiatrist. They treat the whole body, with all the issues that any disease, accident or injury creates, AND the pain condition!
A Physiatrist can be a blessing when you have an anesthesiologist who doesn't want to order the meds you need. You are not a "user". Your pain is real. Your other medical issues all play together and should be treated as such. That is what a Physiatrist does, they try to make you whole again and get you on the road to recovery. They are Rehabilitation Doctors.
Good Luck Brian, .........Dawn
