Arggg I am going to have to talk to him and get him to put me back on what I was taking because at least then I had a fighting chance at a somewhat life. But right now I can't do anything. And then yesterday my right leg was in so much pain that I couldn't stand it and it was purple with bruises up and down it, so I am scared that it has spread to my right leg! I am trying to not freak out or stress out about it because I know that will make it worse, but I am scared!!!


Did he explain why he decreased your meds ?

I could understand if meds were increased for surgery or another procedure that could add more pain, it would be reasonable to try to go back to the pre procedure med plan a short time after.

Is he just decreasing because he has decided that he is uncomfortable prescribing a dose large enough to give you some control over pain, long term ? That is an unreasonable plan.

Hang in there, Ang

He thinks that I will get use to the pain and eventually be able to get rid of the meds.

You need to find a new doc asap! I was told this early in my RSD life. Somewhere O have seen pts rights who have pain. Just a FYI docs can be dinged if they don't treat your pain! Hospitals are REQUIRED to treat pain.
