Default Ok... what else can i do..???

OK,

I am supposed to be going in for the trial and implant of the pain pump in April.. april 23rd, and my doc wanted me on a steady dose of meds so that when he puts the pump in that he could figure the meds out correctly.

he has me on MS Contin 15mg 1 twice a day... I have been taking them and for the past 2 weeks my legs have been killing me.. and i called him to see if i can bump up my nite time dose and take 2 at nite.. bc they arent working and its like takin candy.. which it is, but have never taken 2 at a time ... soo maybe that would work.. well i called him on tues and never got a call back and so i called back today and his receptioist said that he said no, that if i take them now and its not workin then bumpin it up wont do anythng..

I am just caught bc the pain is strong and I hve always been able to handle it, but konwing that the meds he has me on pre pump arnt working,,,, what is it gonna be if i go through wit the pump ??? Plus i have that rashy thing that i posted a couple weeks ago.. its not as bad as it was back then but still there and still hurts too.?? So i told her that i want an appt with him bc i cant hang on and do nothing till i get the pump and if he told me it wasnt worth taking the ms contin, then what about the pre meds for the pump??? GRRRR>. i want my fentynal patches back .. i have them but im allergic to the adhesive in the sticky part... i give up...lol.

SO if any of you guys out there have any suggestions.. everything is welcomed.. I spent 3 hours in the hot tub last nite just so i could get some sleep.. it was 3 degrees out and i think thats what is messing with my legs, but???
