Private Dr's And Chronic Pain

Updated

Are there many people on this board that are going to a private Dr for pain meds? It seems almost every one is forced to go to a pain clinic and these clinics are horrible with all their rules and the way they treat chronic pain sufferers that are in need of pain medicine.
And even worse is a methadone clinic.

Not all pain clinics are horrible, but yes, some of them are and Methadone clinics are not intended to treat pain patients, they specialize in treating drug addiction.

Learn more Methadone details here.

Many private physicians are reluctant to treat chronic pain, because they are not specially trained in doing so, which means on top of the legal concerns, they also have to worry about mismanaging someone and being help responsible for that.

Are there any other questions or comments?
