How do you all address your pain management needs not being met? I have 2 spinal cord stimulators. Therefore I shouldn't have pain, right? Well I have horrible burning in both the right and left incision in each hip. My crps burning and tingling is in both feet now. I don't seem to have as many problems with upper body crps. I am currently being tested for ms due to extreme weakness and balance issues although reading has shown me these can be related to the crps worsening.

My question is this. How do you approach lack of pain management with your dr without them thinking you are after more drugs? I just want to not feel that crushing breakthrough pain. The only pain drug I am on is hydrocodone. I don't have an appointment until 6/13. Should I try to move it up or tough it out? I've never had to have the more pain conversation before. I always thought when I read scs caused spread, it meant to other areas NOT to make the areas already affected much worse!

Any help would be appreciated
