CHRONIC PAIN! MY PAIN MGT. DOCTOR IS DISMISSING PAIN LEVELS…ANY IDEAS?
Question by Big Lance!: CHRONIC PAIN! MY PAIN MGT. DOCTOR IS DISMISSING PAIN LEVELS…ANY IDEAS?
hello, my doc has me on 90mgs of oxycodone, the regimen is 15mg 6x daily, 180 tabs a month. ive been on this stuff for 2yrs and my condition/2 herniated discs/L 5/S1 has deteriorated considerably now to the point that he speculates that not only do i suffer from degenerative disc disease in the lumbar area/shooting pain in legs to now having disc issues in the cervical area. i recently started having shooting pain in my arms/hands which is why hes sending me out for an mri etc. im certain that the new mri will show cervical hernations has im having incredible nerve pain from hell. i have mentioned this nerve pain and the fact that the medication tolerance is maybe an issue and i asked for an increase or different medication. he offered methadone/morphine fentanyl patches etc. i was on 80mg of oxycontin daily but it did not work. i have never asked for an increase in meds, in fact i asked to be taken off of oxycontin a year ago etc. now that i have a miserable day to life in pain and reduced productivity ( own a business) im desperate to get it under control. i had to increase the useage of my pain meds and will run short before my appointment etc. i dont know what to do as the doctors assistant says just ask for an increase in the meds, when i do, he blows me off saying that he doesnt want to increase the meds etc. the crazy thing is, there are bums, patients that are going their with no legit health issues, and they get 3x as much medication! chronic pain is ruining my life, i just feel like im in a racquet where the doc doesnt care! ive done my homework, is it out of line to request 80mg oxycontin tabs 2 x day with some other meds for breakthrough pain? i have to get my life back, but i hate selling out to take pain meds and the side effects, its sucks! dont know what to do as they doc talks about politics and vacations and im in pain! he doesnt here me….. ANY ADVICE?

change your diet or go to a chinese doctor.. american drs will do nothing but poison you and look, you’re already an oxycontin addict.

Find a new doctor. Get a second and a third and a fourth opinion.
