I had cataract surgery in 1994. Post surgery effects on my left eye, my right hand turned black and my right shoulder became frozen. I called my neurologist immediately and he said that he did not know how to resolve the problem and referred me to a Professor of neuroscience at UCSD. After multiple tests, scans and other tests nothing seem to lead to a resolution of the problem. The Profesor at UCSD referred me to a rheumatologist who schedule three Stellate Ganglion Injections followed by physical therapy. After the third injection w/ physical therapy the black area around my right hand disappeared and finally the shoulder was corrected. However, the pain issue was not resolved. I was sent to another Neurologist who had two board certifcations. He treated me with OxyContin and Oxycodone. Shortly thereafter, he retired and I was referred to a pain specialist who prescribed the above medication. Since my wife had cancer (Stage IV) she could barely get out of bed much less get dressed. This pain specialist called me on my cell phone on the way to the appointment and terminated both of us. My spouse had cancer (stage IV) and peripheral neuropathy. He refused to see either of us and shortly thereafter she died. With all the publicity of OxyContin, I have found it impossible to get a prescription for OxyContin or Oxycodone. Instead I have received Norco which does not help at all. Additionally, I was referred to another Pain Specialist but because he shared an office suite with another doctor who I voluntarily left because the PA miswrote every prescription and after going back to his office and a pharmacy over four times, finally the Office Manager told the PA not to re-write the prescription. I received a telephone call from said physician and stated that he would write the prescription. I sought the referral for another pain specialist; however, because he shared an office suite with another pain specialist neither my wife nor I could make an appointment, despite the fact that neither my wife nor I had seen this physician. Since office space is very limited where I live (north San Diego County) these specialist share an office suite to cut their expense. Would you please tell me what course of action I could pursue.
