[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 1737674, member: 1242"] I wish there were more doctors out there like you. I do believe it is difficult for doctors to deal with chronic pain issues, especially when they can't really figure out what is going on. I know in my instance I actually have three different processes going on (one in my neck, one with the weight the "girls" put on my neck, shoulders and upper back and the other in my occipital area) which together make for some very confusing symptomology. I didn't even realize what all was going on until this new doctor took the time to really talk to me and I actually saw the light bulb go off in his mind when we were talking at my last visit. I have gotten more relief from him in 3 visits than in all the doctors I have seen over the last several years combined. Pain management is NOT for the faint of heart, I guess ... I can see where folks can get hooked on painkillers ... chronic pain sucks. I just know that for me, the side effects more than outweigh the benefits of pain reduction over the long haul. Guess I should be grateful ... Those side effects are what has kept me from going down a pretty unsavory road ... Seriously?? That stuff makes me insanely ill when it wears off ... But it does work on the pain. [/QUOTE]
