Re: First time going to a pain clinic
      12/15/03 06:18 AM

I've been to two pain clinics. Both times they wanted to give me cortisone shots and NO pain meds. The first clinic wanted to give me a shot in my hip (I was limping with severe pain ) They actually pushed to make an appointment for the procedure WITHOUT ANY MRI'S, X=RAYS OR ANYTHING!

I happened to mention this to my GYN, who recommended bone density studies. It turned out my hip was fine but my lower back looked pretty bad for a woman of my age. I would have had to go through that pain clinic torture for nothing!

The second pain clinic wanted to give me a cortisone shot in my lower back but wanted me off the hydro completely. They wanted me to sign a statement, agreeing that they would be the only provider of pain meds for me. I wouldn't sign it so that was that.

There is a thread somewhere on DB where pain clinic screening is discussed. Apparently they are trying to weed out the drug seekers. I may be labeled as a drug seeker but I am also a big chicken . Being a cancer survivor, I am used to being tortured and it isn't fun. If I want to stay on pain meds for the rest of my life, I believe I should be able to do exactly that.

Thank you for allowing me to vent.

Best of luck with the 'pain clinic'.
