: Re: another pain management question

[Guest guest]

,

Hi and thanks for your response too. I don't want to leave my

family doc, I was just curious if I should be seeing a pain

management clinic. There is one located in Nashville , if the time

ever comes that I need one. I am so sick of visiting my family

doc. The all know me by name now! Kind of embarrassing at times.

I will see my family doc next week for medication refills. I will

tell him at that time that my pain has increased. I just always

feel funny whenever I ask for pain meds, probably because I am a

recovering addict with 15 years clean time. So I always try to get

by with the littlest amount possible. Both my husband and mother

keep yelling at me to take more meds if necessary (guilty feeling or

not). I guess I will always feel this way no matter what. I hate

to take the meds but I hate the pain more. I am wondering too if

the weather has anything to do with it. Here is TN it is terribly

hot and humid. I am so sorry that you could not be at your job any

longer. I am sure that you were one of the best nurses for a

patient to have. I have come across many nasty ones in my time and

you just seem to have a great personality and lots of compassion. I

am also glad that you are feeling better knowing that your past job

is not looming over your head everyday. I hope you are feeling

better today and take in some of that ocean air for me (he-he).

Take care
