When I first posted on the IAS message board someone sent me a list of
the pain management clinics and doctors that were sympathetic towards
patients who suffer from adhesions. Somehow I have misplaced that list
and need to find a new doctor. As usual my current doctor has given up
on me and they all seem to do the same thing. When I first go to them
they are very sympathetic and tell me they will do everything they can
to help me have a decent quality of life and prescribe pain medication
but after about a year and all they are doing is calling in my
prescriptions I think that they figure they are not making any money off
me so they start giving me a hard time when it comes time to refill my
medications. I never take more than prescribed and always follow thier
instructions snd up to that point they have never had a problem calling
them in or me picking the prescription up. They know that I will have
to go somewhere else since withput my medication I am totally unanle to
function and after being on the strong meds I have been on I would go
through major withdrawls without them. It almost seems like that would
be illegal for a doctor to do that after keeping a patient on very
strong meds knowing what will happen without them taking it.It would be
a different story if I abused them, but I don't, he has operated on me
and seen first hand how severe the adhesions are and knows that I also
have ovarian remnants that keep forming large cyst that hurt like heck,
the adhesions have somehow effected my right hip down to my knee during
my last surgery he said that he had to disect deep and went over into my
right side to go around to the back to try and get the ovarian remnants
but was not sucessful and that is when the pain started in my right hip
and left groin area. If anyone has a list of doctors or a good pain
management clinic in NC please either email me or post here and let me
know. Wishing everyone pain free days and nights!
God Bless
