Christine,
Hi, my name is Shawnna, and I know that some of the wonderful
gals here have had good luck with pain management docs, like Tish
(CookieTish). but mine was awful!!!!! The doc spent the whole visit trying to
convince me that my last surgeon had messed up my spine and pelvic area. He
took me off the meds that were working and gave me meds that didn't even
begin to touch the pain, unless you call falling asleep, helpful. They were
just extremely strong muscle relaxers that knocked me flat out!!!! I need
meds that fight pain and allow me to stay awake!!!!! There are some wonderful
doctors out there they are just hard to find!!!! My gyn now treats me with
oxycontin and percocets and bladder contral med called Elmiron, I also have a
TENS UNit,which helped at first but then started affecting my kidney's and
heart, but I can still put it on my legs and it helps without making my heart
beat funny. Like I said earlier though some have had good luck and
espicially Tish, who is wonderful, I'm sure she could tell you a lot of
positive things. Good luck to you and I hope you get the much needed help!!!!!
God Bless,
Shawnna
