[QUOTE="EhlerDave, post: 2284855, member: 2564"] I hope you get the care you need. I understand the problems people with chronic pain deal with. Yes those who abuse the drugs are a problem, just like those who misuse firearms are why we get treated the way we do. Those who need the long term pain care will run into many Dr's who just don't give a damn or it is just to much hassle. I have been very lucky the last 20 years to deal with Dr's that do care, they understand my problems are not going away, yet they do what they can to help me stay as comfortable as possible. I like the Dr's that say things like "I gave you this med so you are fixed now it does not hurt anymore." Sad thing is look at the number of medical people Dr's and Nurses that have addiction problems. Some problems can not be "fixed" they must be dealt with on a daily basis. Like your breaking up a pill when it is more than you need. I do the same thing and my Dr loves that. I have been to more than a few ER's, I wish some of the snobby type Dr's could spend a week in my skin, see what its like. I have not been to a ER in years when I need pain meds, I am in them to get a joint reduced that my wife and I just can't get back in place. I have even gone just to get an x-ray to make sure nothing has broken. The looks on Medical types of all kinds when they see my x-rays is one of those times that tells me they do not know everything. I understand a Dr like a Cop must access each person and look for signs of abuse, but after a few years maybe they should be a bit more understanding with a person that goes to 1 Dr and 1 Pharmacy. Good luck on getting the meds to deal with the gout, I get it in my toes and ankles, could not imagine the pain if I get it in my knees. Maybe you will find a Dr who understands chronic pain and how to treat it. [/QUOTE]
