Hi,
If I was in you're position I may continue to use OP's, and continue to have and develop a relationship with a local Doctor.

For over two years I have sufferrred cronic pain. It has been treated intermittently. The original Doctor who did the surgery tried every therapy known to man to help relieve the pain. My PCP was of no help whatsoever.

I have been a member of DB for many years but never used an Op. Until recently when I was finally abandoned by my Doctor. (The one who did the surgery. He basically said there is nothing else I can do. Yet my quality of life was down the toilet.

I decided to take matters in my own hand. I continued to use an OP. Had to. Which I was very greatful for. But they are very expensive. I pay 15,000 a year for family health coverage and I'm paying an OP top dollar for some relief.

So I hire a new PCP, refered to a pain specialist. Now it's been a few months working with them. They have been great. I developed a relationship where they cared about me and my quallity of life. I'm not knocking OP's , but let's face it markups over the 200% mark are outright thieves.

Anyway , God willing this will be the last month having to use op's. My local PM Doc is willing to relieve the pain with one of the strongest meds and back that up with a healthy script for breakout pain. The face to face helps to build up a caring environment.

I know a lot of you have been treated lousy by you're local Doc's , but there are Docs out there that write the proper meds, that arent scared to give you the stronger meds if warranted. I just had to put in the footwork. The records and the time has to be put in. This is only my opinion. I started to work on finding a local Doc after hearing about changes in the law that would basically shut down the OP's. I was not going to be put in a position of more suffering. So I just worked and did all I could to find the right Doc. They are out there.

I cannot tell you how happy I am that they have seen my problem, how it effects the quality of my life, and are willing to step it up. God Bless Them. Thank you for listening to my ramblings.
Best Regards,
Hoop
