Re: Pain meds for those truly in Chronic Pain/information assistance

October 31, 2011

Bennie,

Thank you for so much useful information.

My family doctor has mentioned that I might try St Louis Univ hospital as

my condition has gone downhill rather rapidly and she feels they may be

able to come up with a better assessment. I have not looked at pain

clinics in that area as it is a 4 and a half - 5 hour drive.

I am going to read through these links you provided and have this knowledge

ready to approach my dr's with, and I may end up driving(riding) far before

I find any help. My current dr's (in network) are about 45 minutes away.

My neurologist has described in my records, " Intractable Pain " ,

interestingly enough.

thanks again,

Mel
