8( When I lived in NH I got 4 15mg IR Morphine and 3 60 mg ER Morphine a day. When I moved to SC I have had a huge problem finding a pain management problem. The first one said "I don't think I can work with you." immediately. The second gave me 3 15mg IR and 2 15 mg ER per day which was decent. The Dr always came in with a male nurse with a laptop. My last visit a man with a laptop walked in and kept looking at the laptop. Then he said I should have surgery for my arthritis or use a TENS machine (which I don't want as a Rep already came and spoke to me and said they only work 50% of the time and they can just stop working after the implant!). I said "My appointment was 50 minutes ago and I don't know who you are." He replied that he was the Dr. How should I know who he was?? Then he said "I don't think I can work with you." Shocker!! Apparently his Huge Ego was severely bruised 
He then gave me only IR and tapered them off so I would only be on one a day. What a jerk. I have degenerative disc disease in 4 discs, arthritis and sciatica with pain and numbness all down my left leg through to my toes. I am in sever pain all because of a "Drs" ego. I was going to look for a new pain Dr anyhow because they made a female nurse or a female office worker (!!) come in the bathroom, have you pull down your underwear and turn around, then watch you pee! Talk about over dramatic. If they are going to watch you pee it's not possible to take someone else's urine out and pout it in the pee cup! Anyhow, I have an appointment next week, Finally, and I guess we;ll see what happens. I already ran out of meds when I first got here and was going to drive to the ER but I started throwing up and my limbs all flail uncontrollably so I had to call an ambulance. I was waiting outside on the steps when the Fire Dept showed up! I asked them why they were there and they said the 911 person told them I was non responsive. I asked if I looked non responsive. Finally the ambulance got here and they kept telling me to stop moving my limbs. How many times do I have to tell them it's involuntary before they GET IT?! I had called a different Dr up North and she called me in a prescription for Bupropion HCL and Benzotropine MES and both stopped the flailing and the withdrawals. BTW, the ER gave me a pill and said I had to leave because they had a time limit!!! WTH??????? They called me a cab and paid for it to get me out of there. I have Never been treated that way in an ER....
