Pain And Pain Meds
UpdatedFor those of us in pain we know what its like to be unmedicated. We also know what its like to run out and have withdrawl and rebound pain. Its hard to go to a new doc or the er without being looked at like a junkie! Even with documents and test results you have to fight for your meds. TIP. Research research and research some more. Let your new doc know you know what you're talking about. Know yhe terminology for thr pain you have. Be very in depth. Let them know what works for you. But beware they wont jump straight to oxy! Be willing to do a pain contract. Be willing to change your lifestyle(if just to get meds) ask tjem about referals to chiro. Therapy. Be willing to take some initiative for your condition. Someone on here stated you need to work the docs...unfortunatly you do. I have a wonderful doctor she had been with me from the beginning we started on little lite meds. I'm now on oxy, norco, soma, ativan,cymbalta, gabapentin plus I take supplements such as potassium magnesium calcium vit b complex and ibuprofen. I know that I am addicted. It is the infortunate result of my condition. I use as perscribed. I don't dtink or smoke. I do use cannibis. I have a medical recommendation. I let my doctor know. I see her every two weeks. I give urine at refill time every month as per my pain contract. Good luck out there
