I've done the hair dryer thing too,many, many times. I've also sat in my
van with the heater cranked for hours.

To state the obvious: It's easy to say don't take meds when you are not the
one suffering. We have cold sweats, clammy and miserable, not heat sweat like
a runner might have. We freeze and then start tightening our neck and
shoulders into a knot of pain that further increases the misery. I can't
count the days I have sat with a hair dryer blowing on my face and neck. It
really angers me when doctors say the equivalent of Take an aspirin and call
me in the morning. Quality of life means something, and a life of constant
misery is not one of quality. Sorry for the rant.

Wow, she must be the wisest person alive to know something like that. Of
course, many of us would rather take Aleve than narcotics. Hell, one or two
of us would even consider going without pain for a few days. To make such a
pat statement without at least discussing the increase in pain and how it is
effecting your life is irresponsible.
I hate that, when a doctor makes you feel like an addict, but when I feel
unjustly ashamed of my pain med requests I remember what one of my Craig
nurses said when I backed off the meds at a time when I really needed them,
for fear of the harm they could do to my body. She said, make note of ALL
the symptoms that go along with your pain- is your heart working harder? Are
you losing sleep? Are you able to eat normally? Do you tense up and create
more pain? (She was referring to my frozen shoulder) She pointed out that
if the answer to most of these questions was yes, then the pain medicine
should be taken because overall, it would do more good than bad.
Just my 2 bits.

my doc says 3 a day (oxycodone) 5 mg. and no more. i may go to pain
management after i talk to the spine specialist. they make me feel like i'm
a drug seeker.
he started me on 65mg of oxycodone to start and I still take 3 1mg of
lorezapam per day. i will adjust and figure things out as i go, but so glad
hes open to work with me. well worth the trip

Hi Ron,
If you don't mind me asking, what did they start you out on? I'm seeing a
new spine specialist at the end of the month.
I went to pain management today and they helped me. Gave me what I needed
and is willing to work with me. Thank God! I feel validated as a human
being.
