I have been very ill for 12 yrs with fibro, osteo, and dengenerative neck joint disease, and have been treated very little for over 6 yrs by VA Dr.'s, then got my disability, medicare, and medicaid, and found a little better care with Family Dr., I then found a Pain Clinic , and received a little better care, but they still leave me in pain. I have tried what they asked me to do, and have still been left in pain. I don't know what to do? I am tired of hurting, and need a more aggressive doctor to help me. They don't believe in giving us much medicine, and told me that opiate meds don't help us fibro patients?? I don't believe this, but I also have arthritis, and possible RA. I have dengerative neck joint illness, and Osteo for sure. I was hit by a drunk driver going 60 mph while I was at a complete stop, and have never been the same. Does anyone know of a Great Dr. in Austin,TX who takes United Healthcare, Medicare, and Medicaid? Tysm for reading this. I am trying to have a higher quality of life. I am fully disabled US female Vet. It seems they just want me to take injections, which have not worked all that well, and to counseling, and physical therapy. I have taken 2 pain classes at the VA which lasted for 12 wks, and also, physical therapy , and chiropractic care. I am very ill, and these things help a little while, but then the pain does not go away. I need someone who understands me, and will listen and believe me when I tell them what is happening with me. Can someone suggest a Doctor in Austin,TX who takes my Insurance..(.United Healthcare). We also have a Pain Dr. shortage in this overpopulated but, really nice City I love...my hometown! This is the first Pain Med Clinic I have ever been to. So did not know what to look for...perplexed!

Have you tried a methadone clinic?
Methadone is a pain analgesic
