Re: Double/Triple Dipping?

I've asked in other forums, but where does this leave me? I won't repeat all my medical problems here, but I will say that I experience a LOT of pain (waking up early so I can take my flexeril and 800mg IB early enough for it to absorb before I get out of bed). I've been through the gamut of PT therapies, had 2 MRI's in 6 months, and finally the spine doctor says "your upper back pain is muscular in nature" (my lumbar pain is 3 herniated discs in nature), agrees that its time to start me on a long-acting opiate, but then refers me ack to the student health center to get my script. And I get 60 generic MSContin 15mg, to be taken twice a day.

Of course that 30mg of oral morphine every 24 hours does absolutely nothing for my pain, and the concept of medications for "breakthrough pain," is something the student doctors have never heard of. They think 15mg is a "huge amount." Meanwhile the pain is spreading. . . 2 weks ago I only felt a little arthritic achiness in my knees, now I cannot get up without assistance. Is it a crime for me to want some short acting meds to get me through this time until the doctors get the kahunas to prescribe the dosage I need? I don't know. . . I specifically wrote to the certain very personable CS oersin at a respectiable USOP and asked whether I could get breakthrough meds from them.

I'm not trying to "ruin it for everyone," I certainly don't want to get caught up in a legal scandal, but I'm angry and annoyrf that a C-II med should be leaving me in such pain and that doctors in general seem to know nothing about them.

Right now my nighttime dos is 30mg and the daytime still 15. It's been nine hours since my night dose and every point in my body hurts. I dread getting up to go the bathroom because I know how much my knees ae going to hurt when I do.

I know I should not be complaining when there are folks out there totally dependant on OPs, who cannot get C-II meds, but now that I have a script for C-II meds, I have lost my chance to get any pain relief.

Does that make sense? I'm not trying to "ruin it for everyone," least of all my self. I mean, there's no way I could afford to use multiple USOPs. . . but the pain is killing my spirit.

I here many folks being told "you're too young ot be using these heavy pain killers/ tranquilizers/ whatever." At what age do you become eligible for adequate pain control?

Sorry, ramble there.
