Boy I have been thru that. Worst part is it gets hard to play with the kiddies.

First the doctor works for you. Most doctors are finding themselves with no customers. No one can afford this stuff. And then they treat you like an idiot. I live by the old saying, "the squeaky wheel gets the grease." I continually bitch. But in a professional manner.

I have a wierd case. My back which was my main pain. Then I got misdiagnosed when my colon burst. I was diagnosed with constopation, but was far from it. A month in a coma, couldnt see my boys at all, whom I raised, not the mother.

To keep the boys on top of things I had a friend get me some of those toy medical kits. When I had a doctors appt at the hospital, I had one at home with my boys. My doctors were fine with my boys comming to my appointments. I think one of the best things I did was get them involved. Then they understood that I wanted them to sit on my leg, but it was just too painful. NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM, just my wires were crossed and my legs were shorting out.

This whole opiate thing is nuts. I had something really good. Avinza. A real 12 hour dose. Which was great. five tabs a day and I was done. Now my doctor has me on morphine. He tells me Im too young, at 54 to be on this amount of meds. You know beside the back and the colon, I had some heart events. Heck why not. Keep things mixed up. Variety is the spice of life they say. So I tell my doctor I am not worried about the future, I am dealing with todays pain. Hes concerned I wont be able to get enough meds in the future. Im not worried about the future. Science hasnt let me down yet.

Get into a pain group if you can. Stricktly pain management. And if you can attend the groups. I go to the same groups I have been for 10 years. I could easily run the group. What I cant believe is how many people do not take advantge of this. The more people you know, the better your foundation of support.

As far as the doctor If all else fails have them admit you. And keep in mind, you are not doing anything wrong. But try to be positive on your meetings. Show your doctor ANY progression you make. Docs dont mind scripting for people who dont just sit at home. Its a 2 way street. Be as honest as the day is long.

But most of all, take advantage of the floor. Its a great place to hang with the kids. See the world from thier point of view

Thats what it took for me. I didnt even know there was such a thing as a pain group. But when I was laying in my hospital bed with staples from stem to stern and a new colostomy and I was complaining about my back pain. Finally I got on the right track and its been going on 7 years with this one doctor.View Thread
