How Can Severe Backache Be Treated?
My name is Debbie and I have been in pain management for 26 years, the problem I am having is I get judged immediately as soon as doctors find out what I take as you can imagine I have taken at one time or another every pain medication they make I have been taking the same dose for 18 years it controls my pain and I do everything that is asked of me I have never failed a drug screening ever and I know the reason why because of the heroin epidemic that is going on in this country my pain management Dr keeps wanting to reduce my medication it has already effected my quality of life I m in so much pain I can barely walk when you do everything the way they want why are they not concerned with the patient as anymore, I have been through 3 back surgeries no one will touch me because my back is so messed up I thought that s what pain management was for, but somewhere along the line they quit caring a but their patients, I can t take the constant pain and the loss of quality of my life what am I suppose to do
