Vic7,

Unfortunately, your story is more common than many people realize. The problem is, is that many doctors do NOT know how to correctly titrate up the dosages of chronic pain meds and therefore either over or undermedicate their patients.

In order to properly dose pain meds, doctors actually need to spend time with their patients that they don't have. Unfortunately doctors are SO OVERWORKED that they don't have the time to sit and talk to their patients about proper prescribing regimens.
