Hi everyone...as always wishing for low pain levels for you all!
I am going to my first visit next week with a pain doctor to control my fibro pain and sciatica, knee pain, etc.
Due to the new DEA regulations regarding narcotics, my primary care physician will no longer write me a script for pain pills ...he is limited in what he can write in one year.
I went by the pain doc's office yesterday and filled in all the forms. I didn't find that the rules you have to abide by were unfair (they are in place to weed out the drug seekers) but I sure do miss having my doctor of 25+ years who knows my whole medical history make decisions with me that affect my health.
So many of our freedoms are slowly being taken away by those who abuse the system....the good have to suffer for the sins of the bad...just don't see the fairness in it all....Life isn't fair but I sure think the good people need to start speaking up!
I just posted on a knee pain thread...I just don't believe my horrid knee pain is from arrthritis...especially since the MRI taken in June for the knee surgery showed only a slight beginning of arthritis....really upset with my ortho doc right now...
Sitting here with my tens unit on my left knee and hip to help the pain...started out with ice this morning, then switched to pain gel, then the tens unit....and a heating pad on lower back....ah...what a life...LOL!
