My doctor shared this with me but it's not a big secret that they are & we are
closely monitored but on the other hand if one has a long term use of the same
med for the same reason should warrant some explanation of dispensing such meds
to the same patient month after month. But, as you say, each month I have to
pick up my script & sign for it. It cannot be called in.

A note of reference for all. The Feds are closely watching and monitoring the
Pain Relief Industry, and those doctors who are part of that industry, whether
the doctor is an MD or Pain Specialist, and Rehab doctor. Most know already
about the abuse of pain meds in general use. Your pain doctor make not share
with you guys that their actions and the scripts they are writing are being
closely watched. Those who truly need the high meds may also be affected, if
your doctors have not advised. Its not as easy as it once was.......

Look for a "pain specialist" Some anesthesiologists also specialize in pain. My
dr. is PM&R which is physical medicine and rehabilitation.

Hi guys,
Im a c7 quad completec for 15 years since Jan 16 98. Ive been pretty
active swimming biking and such but started having considerable pain that
altered my life in 2004. I was diagnosed with a syrinx at c7 which is where my
initial injury was. I started on lorezapam 1 mg 3 times a day and 50 mg
amytriptyline at night. This is barely helping me Imalso taking an oxy a day
from when my appendix burst last year but my supply is going to run out. My
primary physician wont give me any pain pills. My original rehab doc or
physiatrist is in another network. What should I do to get the proper help with
my pain? Should I seek outanother physiatrist?or should I get referred to pain
management? Who will listen to a quad in pain that needs help?

I take Tramadol that would put House to shame! I also take Percocet & Valium.
I've been on these meds for the last 15 yrs, (21 yrs post). They take the edge
off then I take more then I fight severe constipation, Vicious circle.

I have been disabled for 31 yrs. I have only been in pain for about a year. It
is in my neck, upper back and shooting into my left arm. I have tried
chiropractic adjustments but he doesn't want to make me worse so he actually
told me that I should stop. I had a cortisone shot in my neck but it did not
help. So I have tried naproxin, tramadol and vicodin. The vicodin is the only
medication that helps. I don't want to take it for the rest of my life because
I know it isn't safe. My question is what do all of you do for pain? Thanks.

Hi all.
I haven't been on this list that long, I was on it a long time ago but I
haven't been up to date until about a month ago. So I have missed any
discussions about dealing with chronic pain.
