Hey friends, hope everyone reading is well. This is only my second post on Bluelight as I'm still relatively new. Please forgive me if I am posting wrong or including something I shouldn't. That is honestly not my intention, I'm just beyond scared right now.
Basically long story short, I'm in my mid 20's and have been going to pain management the better half of a year for back, spine, neck, and hip replacement surgery pain. I've done a few epidurals also and am having a follow up appointment on Friday in which they'll assess my pain and likely continue on my medications as they've done for almost a year.
I am nervous because I have suffered with ADD and was prescribed medication for it (prior to pain management but had stopped before seeing pain management) and went to a pyschiatrist earlier this month. I told her I had a contract with pain management and told her I was not trying to break any rules. She told me I needed to be on medication and as long as she wasn't prescribing me a benzo, I was following my contract. I believed her and picked up a prescription for Adderall.
Since yesterday, I have really started freaking out. I have no quality of life without the pain medication because it allows me to function. However since before my hip replacement surgery, I had to stop working because of the pain issues. Regardless, I'm realizing I need to help out and can't continue to ask my mom to finacially support me, pain or not. That's why I went to see a pyschiatrist since focus, drive, and concentration are essentially nonexistent in my world. Never once was I trying to be "sketchy" but I am extremely worried my pain management doctor might drop me as a patient. I don't know what to do. Has anyone seen a pain management doctor who is okay with them also seeing a pyschiatrist and getting ADHD medication? My mom is telling me not to worry, but I am because I can't fathom being in pain if they drop me. I'm almost shaking at the thought of being dropped when my pain is still at the levels it is. Thanks so much for reading.
