DrugBuyers.Com: Flakey Doc drives young man insane..

What a headline.

I thought I had reached the end of an almost three-year struggle to get a doctor to medicate me for pain. All I needed was some consistency, some compassion. I was not asking for much at all.

I thought my GP, on the advice of the Pain clinic's head of deparment (also his personal buddy) had decided to take care of me.

Almost two weeks ago I received OxyContin 20 mg tid from him. I was surprised as anyone, but glad. I thought that my long and tiring fight was over!! I was celebrating, I was even crying tears of joy. I decided I could finallly lose weight, thanks to increased energy and less depression.

When I got the meds, I felt a lot better, and I was back exercising, I made plans for the future, and I decided I want to work again. I want to be a photographer.

So today, I received a call, a follow-up to my question about break-through medications. I thought BT meds were a normal thing, plus I would've settled for Motrin, just as long as my therapy can remain unhindered, and I don't have to live month to month like I used to.

Well, month to month has arrived! I received the doctor's advice today that I start looking for a pain doctor, because he's -once again - uncomfortable prescribing opiates. When I pushed for a explanation, his nurse told me it's because these pills "are addictive", and a pain clinic was more suited to deal with it.

Let's forget that I just came from a pain clinic. They said they were fully booked, but that they'd recommend that my GP continue opioid treatment, because that's all that was necessary. The head of the dept. called my doctor to 'try and convince him' that is was ok to treat me with long-term opiates.
In the meantime I had received some mental evaluations, basically telling them what I know: I am in pain, and am seeing a loss in quality of life. This could be fixed with narcotics for now, as I do not fit the profile for an addict.

Still, in my opinion, a pseudo-addict is what I shall be until I get proper, consistent treatment, not the occasional bottle of pills thrown in my face, which only gives me a taste of feeling good, thereby stimulating possible addiction way worse than any consistent therapy could.
I am running around in circles, and I am getting so desperate.

I liked my doctor! He seemed honest. Little did I know he didn't intend seeing me for my pain, because when he prescribed me OxyContin (my first ever), I was under the impression that OC was a med for the long haul... But he had plans behind my back to drop me as a pain patient, and didn't have the balls to let me know to my face!! He waited till I could find out, through his secretary, on the phone. Not only did I trust this guy at first, I liked him.
I am not disappointed, I am crestfallen. I still need pain treatment. Where to go now? What do I do? Can't go to the pain clinic - they sent me to my doctor with their blessing!

Please can someone help me? Is there a doc who can help me? I'll fly anywhere, I just need consistent care! I want to get back to my life, but I will need some pain therapy to enjoy it. I want to be a good photog.

Any ideas, addresses, or advice, anyone? I'll even fly to Canada if they are more compassionate there!!! Really. I am planning to move there permanently anyway, one reason being the police state of medicine in this counrty.

Please help me, I can't see the positive side of things any longer.
Tell you, my backstabbing doctor is going to provide excellent fodder for my new website, exposing non-compassionate doctors (whilst remaining on legal safe ground, of course - there has to be a way!)

Oh, one more thing. My liver is compromised due to excessive consumption of Tylenol. I'd been taking that, as wel as IBU for "breakthrough" pain. My doctor told me today to lay off the Tylenol. Is this world too strange or what?
