Dear Red,
I know from where your coming, 15 years chronic pain 5 herniated discs and ddd, all they want to do is stick needles in me, give me tests and experiment on every new therapy that comes down the pike and I still have no answers. I'm on 40 disabilty and my good old Dr. who understood me retired so I continue to search you go to 15 Dr's. and get 15 opions all different and all a small fortune and NO guarantees. Last specialist said "when you can't take the pain anymore we'll "try inserting an artificial disc" Gave me 60 5/500 vicodins and sent me a letter stating new york state law says he can refuse treatment to me given a 30 days notice" meaning he was NOT going to perscribe anymore meds for me unless he operated, so I went to other pain clinics and they all want to do epidural steriod injections, A spinal tap in reverse, that just does NOT work for old injuries but they cost around 1,200 a shot in a series of 3=3,600 for a treatment that is more painful than my condition, than another perscribed morphine, at 47 the last thing I need is an addiction to that when that Dr. decides he no longer wants to treat me so I passed on that one, rite now I can pretty much function on 10/325 Norco's but to get a Dr. to rite that is next to impossible, so I use op's and have a monthly Dr. visit that barely speaks english and refuses to up my rx. So I continue to search the people on this board are all pretty nice and caring and are giving you decent advice, but its your body and life which means YOU must get involved with all the knowledge you can. I found a site that is very good but he couldn't help me cause the nearest Dr. was like an 8 hour drive, but check it out and let me know how it goes,www.edschronicpainsite.com he keeps lists of good Dr.s and lots of info concerning pain and different aspects of it, Good luck, and stop thinking of hurting yourself, there ARE people that WILL help you, your still young and have lots of time to knock on doors, and behind one of them is going to be the one you've been looking for. But try ED's and keep me posted, Tim
