Don't Needlessly Suffer From Chronic Pain

As a chronic pain sufferer, with a diagnosis of a herniated disc

along with bone disc degenerative disease, for many years I have

needlessly suffered from chronic pain. During the many years of

needlessly suffering in pain, I have learned how chronic pain is

treated, or should I say undertreated.

First of all, patients seeking treatment from the medical

community are treated with a stigma that's associated with

chronic pain treatment. This is due for a variety of reasons.

Some reasons is physicians are afraid of new government

regulations, addiction, diversion, and just the lack of knowledge

when it comes to treating chronic pain.

Its a sad fact, that chronic pain is grossly undertreated by

healthcare professionals. Too many Americans are needlessly &

silently suffering from chronic pain. It also appears that

doctors are hesitant about what types of treatment is best for

people that suffer from constant daily pain. As in my case, my

doctor told me that he recommended surgery. After several second

opinions, after talking to people that have already had surgery,

going under the surgeons knife didn't seem like a viable option.

With failed back surgery very common, and follow up surgery

needed from damage or complications due to the initial surgery,

and the possibility of permanent nerve damage and paralysis,

again surgery didn't seem worth the risk. I would still be in

pain, with the pain then being greater. But it seems physicians

try to pressure you into surgery so they can justify prescribing

long term narcotic drug therapy.

After trying physical therapy, biofeedback tactics, countless

steroid injections, anti-inflammatory, to several different over

the counter medicines with no great results, I felt helpless.

Luckily, finally I found the help needed to address my pain, and

am now on a responsible drug therapy program. I no longer feel

like a drug addict, or not being believed, trying to obtain the

proper pain medication needed to treat my pain. But after years

of enduring chronic pain, I know there's millions of Americans

just like I was, silently & needlessly suffering in pain, even as

you read this article.

Chronic pain sufferers are discriminated against tremendously. I

think if someone has tried everything to treat their pain, they

should be entitled to the proper pain medication to eleviate

their pain for a more productive and better quality of life. I am

committed to doing whatever I can to help other people that are

hurting needlessly in pain.
