Bobosan gave good advice.....the thing is to try to develop a good working relationship with the doc....and to be sincere in your willingness to try his suggestions. He should ask what you've taken before that didn't work & what you've taken that did....if he however, suggests a trial of Ultram & Vioxx or Ultram & prescription strength naprosyn, take the scripts, take the meds & make a follw up appointment.....if they don't provide relief, go back & do it in the framework of seeking his expertise & help....have you ever had an MRI? Now would be a good time to get an MRI...you can't tell diddly with plain x-rays....so that's a good place to start....
You want to be very careful about getting labled "drug seeker" cuz once you get that in your chart...most providers won't even LISTEN to your side of the story....if it becomes clear he's not comfortable with prescribing narcotics long term....or seeing you through to finding out the problem....ask him for a referral to a ortho doc, and down the road to a Pain managmement specialist....you may have to endure a few epidurals....and epidurals actually help ALOT of people....
