Re: I see a therapist-

[Guest guest]

Are you serious?!!? Neither one of them think that your pain should be

adequately treated??? That just blows my mind. I resisted taking any medication

for a long time and it was my therapist who sat me down at told me we needed to

re-evaluate my condition and pain issues. She told me that she really thought

pain management would improve my quality of life and my ability to function and

she was SO RIGHT! I'm so glad I listened to her. Even though it took a long time

after that to find a good pain specialist.

Maybe after you get a definitive diagnosis they will think differently? I agree

that you shouldn't just take whatever the doctor gives without testing and

knowing what they cause is first but pain is pain. You'd think a therapist or

psychiatrist would understand the psychological scarring that pain and more

importantly the stigma of having to take the medication can do to a person! Of

course, this is just my humble opinion.

Good luck ! I hope you have a good weekend regardless.

i see a therapist and a psychiatrist, but they neither one agree with any type

of pain management. the people who abuse them have made it so hard on those of

us who really need them. i am just waiting to hear something from my doctor. my

family doctor is not in on Fridays so looks like it will be a long weekend.
