Frustrated and annoyed with pain doctors office today.
 

OK I have had some interaction with some of you and some of you have looked in on things I have posted and I thank you for doing so. Today has been very frustrating for me it seems as though there is always a problem with this doctors office when it comes time to renew my meds one nurse in particular mind you I have been dealing with all this crap since 2010 and this one nurse for as long as well. So today she returned my call as always in a timely fashion kudos their. But she always is insinuating that I take more than needed what I was prescribed (which I never do because I don't like the feeling I get when taking the meds period but they help with the pain) So today she started he routine ritual of saying so and I abruptly & rudely stopped her in the middle of her little spiel and asked her if she had a problem that required her to take any pain meds at all? snidely she replied I do not! I then continued to let her know that her and I have done this dam dance on the phone more then 200 times an truthfully and honestly I was very sick and tired of it and told her the next time she tries to say I was taking more then what I am suppose to that I would have no problem going out and buying a big bag of weed to deal with the pain instead of having to listen to her ******** anymore and I will be talking with the doctor when I come in this month for a visit.
It is plainly written on the prescription bottle that I am to take 2 pills a day along with the three other meds I am on. I could see if I had a history of taking pain meds and abusing them but I do not I could see if I was calling a week in advance to have them filled again I again am not matter of fact I am a day late for refilling them. So needless to say with the pain I'm in and the mood she put me in and of course me running my mouth because of the fact I was tired of her crap and I ticked her off with my comments she now turns around an tells me that the doc will be in tomorrow and she will put it on his desk and we will have to see what he wants to do. Really ? Little did she know that earlier this morning I already had spoken with the same doctor that she was speaking about for a different reason (his referral to the other doc cause of my insurance) and he told me no problem I'm going to be in the office all day if you would like to come and pick it up or i can fax it to you ? ( told him to fax it please its almost a 45 mile round trip for me ) which he did. So I know she is lying about him not being there. Wondering what her reaction is going to be when I walk in with this same fax and time stamp on it and explain the conversation he and I had earlier that morning ? Also wondering if she will have a job after all this comes out seeing she is delaying patients the care that not only the pay for or they need ! BTW thank you for taking the time to read all my venting if you made it this far :winky::icon_sad::icon_sad:

We are here for you. Venting helps. We understand the frustrations. While we may not experience the exact same frustrations, we have all had them in one form or fashion.

Hang in there. Get some rest. Vent with us when you feel like it.

Hopeless
 

Thanks for understanding about the venting and excuse my langue.

Hi Messy Mark
 

Good for you! Sometimes health care providers are plain wrong. They also don't always treat a patient on pain meds. with respect. I also walked out on a doctor, who was my pain specialist but would not prescribe meds. for after a surgery????? What ?????? I am glad you told that person off. If this had been going on over and over again, maybe a letter to inform on the behavior would be good too. I wish more of us stood up to the Stuff that is thrown at us. I didn't ask to be in pain, and neither did you. I appreciate someone who can stand up to these health providers that are on some kind of a rant. Bet someday when they are in pain, the attitude will fly right out the window. ginnie:grouphug:

I did not and today has been one heck of a day and I'm just pig headed enough (as my wife says) that I will not beg. I will wait another 8 days when I am supposed to go in for a re eval. And it will not be a nice visit I can guarantee that cause I am going to unload all of my thoughts and will be moving to another center after my visit to the office that I am dealing with. Unfortunately I will have to travel about 80 miles round trip .:(

I actually called back and spoke to the supervisor of the pain center. He told me he will look into so I guess we'll see how things turn out but either way I will be moving on. I'm trying everyday to get better and reduce my pain level it's not like I sit in the house all day. I get out and try to walk as far as I am able to every day rain or shine my Photography shows that *edit* so if they are not willing to help in this journey then I don't need the negativity:winky:

Hi Messy mark
 

Loved the link. Keep on fighting. Let me know what the office says after you tell the doc. what was going on. I would move on too actually. Enough is enough. We all have a lot on our plate, and do not need negativity thrown at us. I will be hoping some resolution can be had for you. Find a great doctor who has a bit of empathy. ginnie:hug:

Thanks Ginnie I will keep you in the loop. As for the comment about MJ earlier yeah it's not legal here either. I also get tested every time I go to to the pain center so I would lose my disability also if I come up positive and I did enough of that when I was younger lol. Btw I'm 43 I know young pup :) young pup at heart wise old dog otherwise who knows when to stay on the porch and when not to.
