Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Hi Scot, Just a word about " pain med prescriptions, " Depending on the med, the state you are in, and other legal - traditional - accepted practices, a doctor may be prevented by law to phone in a script for you. In other words that just may not be a possible option. Hope you get better and have a better day Best wishes, Poncho - GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 22, 2003 Report Share Posted November 22, 2003 Scot, it sounds like you need a new doctor instead. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of options out there and most of us end up going the pain medication route. Since he's not willing to treat your pain without weekly visits (that's absurd and he probably only wants the money a visit will give him, whereas a phone call won't give him anything) you really need to get a doctors whose willing to give you pain medications on at least a monthly basis. If you aren't willing to change doctors, you might want to ask him if he's willing to refer you to a pain management clinic (one who prescribes narcotics as there are some that don't treat pain with meds). Just trying to think up some options that would help you deal with the pain. No one should have to live with untreated pain. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...

Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 That's good to know that you already have a second GI lined up just in case. Hopefully things will go well with the first GI and you won't need the second one. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@...
