Howdy folks!

I hope all are well as can be!

I'm going on 30 years with this RSD / TOS. Recently I became diabetic, and was assaulted twice.. for no good reason. (knocked down, kicked around, broken ribs and wrist, then had a guy actually come into my apartment, grab me by the hair, and shake the livin' daylights outta me! That made my neck/discs/Tos feel great, my arms are of very little use and painful now.
Anyways, I was seeing an internist, who simply got overwhelmed with how ill I am, and the amount of meds I require (methadone is my primay primary Been on it over 20 years.).

Today, I went to a 'Pain Management' doctor. They suggested Lyrica. NO! I uttered the word methadone, told them I didn't want the side effects of Lyrica, and was quickly done, or they were with me. Now, don't get me wrong, they weren't cold, and efficiently / kindly suggested another doctor, albeit downtown Philly, whom would help me. I looked him up on the 'net, and was greeted by a search for other PM docs. So, I'll get on that tomorrow. (some are closer), I dislike downtown.

These modern PM docs, seem to be pushing the SCS, and blocks. No thanks, I've been through the blocks with Dr S, and they're mainly for diagnoses, it seems to me, anyhow.

Any comments, I appreciate!

Take care!

Pete
