i have chronic pain syndrome and fibromyalgia. I have good days and bad days. i tend to overdo it on good days, because it makes the days following very bad days. I am to the point of being bedridden on those days. I woke up this morning to severe pain in neck and lower back/leg pain including migraine. I am seeing a pain management clinic doctor for "special cases of pain". we have tried all sorts of things and so far the only thing i can do is take something to sleep so i can have some pain relief and make the day shorter in perception. I called this doctor today to report the most severe pain and regional pain i have ever had. i actually called yesterday and they didnt return my call which i dont think that helped much for my emotional distress. so after TWO calls to the clinic this morning i just got a call back and was told that the pain doctor cant see me again until the 12th of june. and he wont change or increase my medications til then. i was basically told that i was gonna
have to "deal with it." i am a bit furious and completely dejected and I called back and told them i needed another reasonable option. no call back yet…. but the second lady i talked to said the only thing i can do is go to the ER. this is not an option for me. So after all management techniques exhausted, I am stuck. I need some help with dealing with this severe pain. anyone have any options? I am not allowed to take prescribed meds from any other doctors, there is a strict code of conduct with the clinic and they even do "pill counts" so i cant take more meds than prescribed. I am an inch away from buying meds online which is illegal for one and for two, i get a U.A. every visit. I am totally screwed. I need help. sorry this is so long. thanks
