A few months ago I got into some legal issues over some problems I had with cymbalta my dr. took me off of this without weening me first it is antidepressent but used to help me with pain management and my dr. was subpoenaed to my hearing. Back when I had these issues I called the phone nurse and she refused to help me although I explained the horrible side effects the meds gave me. I think this is the real reason for my Dr's Decision but not sure. Even in my follow up appt. he agreed the meds cause my problems. I'm 28 and had to file bankrupt due to my time off work. From age 22 till now i've had 3 surguries on my same disc in my lower back and it has cause my much grief i've never had a criminal history until I got charged with battery (for slapping someone) over my cymbalta withdraw and it sounds stupid but unless you've had horrible side effects from medication withdraw then you might understand, plus I was also prescribed 50 mcg of fentanyl pain patch which was also horrible.

I would like to know if there are and Pain Management Doctors in Northern Colorado who use pharmaceutical medication in treatment? I have degenerative disc disease, as well as 3 herniated discs. I have tried accupucture, cortizone shots, muscle relaxers, and physical therapy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you would rather email me your reply, you can reach me at tannerdallas32@hushmail.com. thanks everyone.

I am curious and would like others opinions.
I have been dealing with throbbing pain since a accident when a very early teen. Over 20 years now.
I had yet another accident within the last 3-4 years. Causing another host of painful outcomes.
Anyhoo I have been talking with others who do not understand that I do not take so many pain killers as to be "out of it". These people do not understand. The group of peeps (it is a medication group) seam to think one should not feel any pain what so ever at anytime!
I am curious how many people think it is OK to feel....pain. I mean when it gets real bad I do take something. I am deathly afraid of being (or getting) addicted to pain killers!! I have kids that need me. I see how other people are and do not want to be this way.
At the moment if I went to the doctors for my arms (tennis elbow? I have RA) I would have to have very painful injections with needle.
My motto Pain is just a way to no you are alive.....
What is your opinion?
I thought I would add I do have a seizure disorder which makes some pain killers off limits to me.
RA is rheumatoid arthritis, some mornings I can not walk, move.

I have an appt with a Pain Management Dr. next Friday and am wondering what to expect. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and am currently taking Tramadol, which is not very effective. What is the likelihood that the Dr. will prescribe a stronger pain medication? I am in a lot of pain. : (

With any and all of your pregnancy[s]. Which methods did you like best? What were the pros and Con's and how did you manage it naturally. Has anyone used a cervical block where they inject medication into the cervix? What do they do to numb it if you need to do an episiotomy? Thank you.

Hi Guys
Hi Guys
I am new in USA. my wife has Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and is taking medication prescribed when we were in our home country.
1. my first question is How much is the cost of RA treatment in USA? i mean an estimated monthly cost..
2. and what specific coverages i will have to look for in her case if i go for buying an insurance (considering that RA is a chronic disease and requires taking medicines continuously for several years)
kindly help us out !

I have a moderate case of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and have been on pretty strong medications for it since I was 2 years old. I currently have a 3 1/2 month old and am breast feeding so I can not take any medication. I am in a lot of pain but do not want to sacrifice the breast feeding so I am looking for another option. Example: a special diet or anything???

I have 3 herniated disc and was seeing a pain mangement physician for the past several months. In the beginning I signed a contract which states I would only get pain medication from the pain management doctor. He put me on MS Contin. Unfortunately 4 months later I 4got that I signed it & had more then one occasion went to urgent care for what can only be described as break thru pain.They would prescribe Vicodin ES for 20 or so pill. It helped tremendously in between & I was already aware that pain mgmt couldn't adjust the MS Contin.Yesterday when I went to pain mgmt for my monthly script the doctor said they could no longer see me and that the DEA files showed that I had filled 3 or 4 scripts for Vicodin from urgent care. He gave me 1 last prescription. I was and am devasted. I am terrified of the pain to come when those pills r gone & I am terrified that the DEA is black listing me.Will I be able to go to another pain dr. like he suggested or am I in some sort of legal troub?
I haven't slept a wink because I am so worried about the pain to come and if the DEA has me listed as a drug seeker. I am really in severe pain and would never abuse the medication. This is a horrible way to live and I am only 41. What if some how these doctors have some sort of network and there is a alert or something that tells other docs not to treat me? I am so scarred that my asthma is flaring up. This is why those people out there who really abuse the system make it so so hard for us who are really suffering. The doctor I had was very kind and understanding which is another reason why I am so devastated. Even my hands are shaking today just thinking about the immense pain I am going to have to endure eventually. Please someone help and tell me what I should do
