I Have Been Going To A Pain Doctor For 15

I have been going to a pain doctor for 15 years. I was doing fine when I was taking (2) 30 mg ocycotin, long lasting anf (7) 15mg short acting. I have had 3 neck surguries and one lower back and they refuse to touch the mid section my back. It doesn't make the pain go away but it makes it tolorable. Recently, they have lowered my short acting each time I go for an appointment. i started out working full time, then part time, then volunteering. I am now down to (4) 15 mg short acting and (2) 30 mg long acting, which is the max amount a patient can take with less than one doctor's second opinion. I have 15 years and over 8 doctor's 2ed opinions but my doctor could care less, as a matter of fact no doctor in Maryland gives a crap about whther a patient has more than on one opinion; is this not illegal???
if you cannot perform random household chores should you not be entitled to more medication? I can not even take my shirt above my head or even do minor housework. WHY. Why are they lowing it to the point where I can no longwr function? Especially when I was doing so good before?
