Avatar n tn If your retired physician keep good records valadiating your need for pain medication and your level of pain you should not encounter as much difficultly obtaining pain control meds as someone who is starting from scratch. They may want to repeat some tests to evaluate where you are now and if you have had any changes over the past 11 months. But I'm sure I am not telling you anything you don't already know. Good luck in your search. I am sorry your pain has increased.
Avatar f tn My husband has been seeing a pain management doctor since 2011 for chronic back pain that radiates pain down into his leg. His doctor is always amazed how he can walk because of the nerves and discs in his back are extremely severe. In July of 2013 my husband, John, fell and broke his femur.
Avatar f tn How can I locate a pain management practice that specializes on patients going through this syndrome?
Avatar f tn Never forget that the practice is called pain management and not pain cure. Talk your doctor about your goals for pain management so that you're both on the same page. Mostly you're looking at improving your life rather than restoring you to perfect functioning again. Also ask your doctor about therapy with a pain psychologist. I'll admit I thought it was a big waste of time and money when my pain doc asked me to try it.

Avatar f tn Actually my lung specialist recommended I be referred to a pain management clinic. I have been dealing with sever chest pain for months now. At first I thought it was pleurisy due to several collapsed lungs and lung surgeries. The pulmonologist though so as well until he did a full panel of lung function tests and other tests. After all that he realized that my pain was coming from nerve damage to my intercostal nerves.
Avatar f tn Do everything Jerry said. He did give you great advice and I think if you do these things everything is going to be alright. Yes, they do put all prescriptions on one or two pages now. It's not like it used to be where you would get one for every single script. Your regular pharmacist was not the one who filled them. And why in the world do these DRs think any of us would ever sell our medications?!!!

Avatar f tn After reading about pain management during labor I have decided to not have any medication unless it is absolutely necessary. However, I am still back and forth about an epidural. What is everyone's opinions or experiences with it? Trying to weigh the pros and cons.
Avatar f tn I have an infertility doctor who I know is wonderful with fertility drugs and IVF, but the pain management has been poor. Vicodin helps a lot, however, I cannot find anyone to prescribe it for me on a regular basis because it is addictive. I take a half of Vicodin 2 times a day. I dont think thats a problem, and it gives me a better quality life. What is Ponstel?
Avatar f tn Today the pain is bringing me to tears and I was just hoping that I could get some ideas on other options of pain management? I need some help and the doctors around here have been pretty stumped on what I should do. Any suggestions would help!

539841 tn?1235394722 The subject? Pain management. I am not going to be melodramatic, just honest- I have nothing to gain to be anything other than this. I am dying. We all are, right? Well maybe mine is just coming a little faster than others. This is the thing. My son is young still at 11. I want to enjoy him and my wife as much as I can. To do this it requires pain killers of the HEAVY variety.
Avatar n tn t do much as far as alternative pain management options. I would research other options and avoid the pain management clinics (if you can).

3055553 tn?1346558533 Hi Codielou I am in the UK and unfortunately endo is very badly managed over here. It's an effort just to get a diagnosis so pain management is unheard of! I am also allergic to paracetamol and codine so the only pain killer I can take is Ibroprofen and I am currently over dosing on them.
