Unhappy Pain doctor apt disappointment

Sorry, I haven't been around here again but I have been sick for weeks and dealing with constant pain I saw my pain doctor this week and they are going to see if my stimulator program can be changed enough in order to cover more areas of my body. It already works in my legs and back (somewhat) but we are trying to get it to cover pelvic area too since I have chronic pain conditions that affect that area. He said this only works in 20 percent of people with stims so I am hoping it will work for me. My usual stim guy that I have had for years now has people under him and I will be reprogrammed with a new person on Tuesday in the hospital hallway! So, that is kind of odd but with the lack of sleep and not being able to do anything nor want to do anything I am desperate for pain management/relief. They also refused to put me on any actual pain meds and nerve pain meds because of possible drug interactions and my other conditions, this made me mad because a year ago they were letting me have pain meds. I am dealing with my health problems and also my mother's health problems so I am under a lot of stress and just trying to handle everything at once. I probably won't be around too much for awhile just because there is a lot going on but I am always thinking of all of you and you're in my thoughts and prayers! I will also let you know if we do get my stim programs to change and cover more pain areas because it might be helpful for other people! Take care and I will be back again sometime
