Guest guest Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Ok, so I went to the pain clinin yesterday my doc refered me saying he would not give me anymore pain meds I had to go to the pain clinic. after waiting a month for an appointment, I went was sooooo nervous, but it went GREAT. The doctor is VERY nice, a woman, my doc gave me 60 percoet for a month, she asked me if I thought that was sufficant, thats only 2 a day, i told her, some days yes some no, she said ok, Ill give you 90, on to the mucscle relaxers, also increased from 60 to 90 a month. Yay, for me , I can finally take my pain meds when i need them, instead of trying to limit them so they will last. Also she thinks theres something " else " going on in my neck besides the fibro so she ordered a CT scan, so we'll see. Just wanted to share me experiance. ~Hugs~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have been going to a pain clinic for almost 4 years. I get oxycodone and morphine besides all the other stuff. I could NOT have survived this long without my meds.....literally, I would have jumped off a cliff. Most pain clinics rx pain meds but a few won't. I think it's helpful if they have a website that you can go one and read their philosophy. That way, if they don't rx pain meds, you won't waste your time and money. If they don't have a website, I have just called and asked before making an appt. I don't have time for moron dr.'s that won't give me the meds I need to keep me alive. For those who don't know, look in the Yellow Pages under physicians and then find the pain management or pain specialist section. The one's in your are will be listed and you can check them out to see if they can help you. ~Jill Re: I went to the pain clinic In a message dated 3/28/2008 5:07:58 P.M.
