I was informed by my pain specialist doc last week, that he will oversee my care and prescribe for 3 more months, then turn me back over to my primary doc. My primary doc refused to prescribe Oxycontin anymore...that's how I ended up going to the pain clinic in the first place. The pain doc assures me all will be okay after he oversses my treatment and writes a letter to my family doc, he says it helps the family docs be "off the hook" for prescribing narcotics...especially the big "O". So we shall see.
Hang in there...when is you next appointment?
Love,
Janet
