Hi,

I to have had some luck with the pain clinics. I have thoracic Scolosis (sp?) After several years of doing the OP game (anyone remember Bryson?) I finally went to a pain clinic (got the referal from my primary care doc.) They started me out on 10mg Oxycontin and 2mg Dilaudid for breakthrough. Now after seeing the pain doc for a few years I get 60 40mg Methadone and 120 8mg Dilaudid, all for $30 in co-pays per month (including the office visit.)

I have had nothing but good things about this pain doc. He is also very aware of the dangers of APAP and does not prescribe any pain meds with APAP in it. He insists that it should not be used in chronic pain patients because of long term liver damage. He says that even if you stay under the daily limits, it could still cause liver damage with long term usage.

I did have to sign a pain contract, and have to submit to drug tests. But it is not a problem, because he is more then adequately taking care of my medication needs.

So for anyone that thinks there is no hope, go an visit a pain center.. they really can be a godsend.
