Hello everyone
I am new to this and been reading everyone's post and enjoying them..been to the Doctor at the Pain Clinic 2 weeks ago for
Lumbar Radiculopathy in both legs and he gave me 20mg oxycontin and 125mg nucyenta every twelve hours..used to take 80mg oxycontin and 60mg oxycodone 3 times day 4 BT pain..meds not even working..called doc and told him in severe pain and cant work and going 2 lose apartment, car, ect if I don't get back 2 work ASAP..He started screaming and yelling at me like a lunatic..never in my 53 years of life have I been treated like this from a doc..asked him if he could go up on dose..he said no
your going 2 have 2 wait until ur appt July 21..and he said don't call again..I was in shock..I was so mad I wanted 2 go above his head but where would I go from here? I wanted 2 get this mother f@ckers License..Here I am July 4th in bed with no legs in severe pain while he's on his yacht drinking and laughing with all his friends and doesn't care about me laying in bed with no legs and in severe pain..well I got on internet found new Doctor and have appt w/ Neurosurgeon on the 30th..
I will see this @sswhole again on the 21st and give him a piece of my mind but b careful he can blackball me also..I have 2 do in professional manner..so sick of relying on Doctors..Ive had Lumbar Radiculopathy in both legs for 7 years now and its no picnic as u all know what pain is..this guy doesn't care about me at all..he shouldn't be running a pain clinic..wtf is he doing there?
I was nervous 2 join this group but I need u ppl 2 help me cope w/ my pain. Good Karma
Hi,
Welcome to Bluelight! Pain is frustrating, I have it - I understand. I'm sorry this was your interaction with this particular doctor which might have escalated your pain aside from not having the usual remedy to treat it. How will you cope in the interim? There are otc meds available that might help.
Here is a The Pain Management Megathread (Chronic and Acute Pain Discussion) Version 5.0 ~ V, and if you have to face withdrawal by bringing your tolerance down we have a The Opioid Withdrawal Megathread and FAQ.
Please let me know if I can redirect your post to another forum which might be helpful. Best, Smoky
Hey Sky...I can relate to the arrogant gods in white coats. Mine is BAT SHIT CRAZY on a good day. I don't trust him to follow through on my PM program. We're back to Oxycodone, which I really don't think is for me. He started me at 15 mg 3xday. I break them into 1/4s, not because I don't need the full strength, but because I don't want to build tolerance rapidly.
My gut tells me I shouldn't start running with this devil called Oxy full throttle, even though prescribed this way. Trouble is, I HAVE TO HAVE some degree of pain relief. I've spent too much of my life in severe daily pain, with no opiates whatsoever...only Darvocet until it was pulled.
I'm almost 54. I'm fucking miserable in pain and it's constant companions of depression and hopelessness. I lived 4+ decades hoping my health would get better. It hasn't. It won't. This is as good as it gets. All other modalities have failed me. Opiates were my last best hope. All hope is GONE without guidance and reassurance, which my "pain specialist" fails to provide. I'm lost and I'm scared.
I sincerely hope that you find answers for your pain.
well finally I found a Neurosurgeon who is seeing me today at 2:30..f@ck that pain clinic doctor who yelled and screamed at me just cuz I was in pain. I told him I was going to lose apartment,
car, extra if I don't get back to work..he didn't f@cking care..he problem on his yacht drinking w/
friends partying, while I lay in bed on July 4th weekend.. I'm so mad.. I want his mother f@cking license..that bastard..well my Mom told me 2 b nice be cuz he can blackball my name 2 other docs..oh but I really want 2 call everyone and report him for his
abuse to me for 3 weeks ago..that
mother [email protected] day w/come..
