I have been suffering with chronic pain for approximately five years now and my doctor said that she is more worried about me getting addicted to the pain medication, They obviously haven’t suffered from chronic pain and surgery is not an option. I have had multiple falls and the worst fall was having my feet taken out from under me and I landed very hard on packed down dirt in a field and I thought I broke my back. It took 3 X-rays and a ct scan to find the damage done to my back. My doctor sent me for physiotherapy, but I don’t feel it’s helping because I’m in worse pain after the appointment.
My doctor has me on Hydromorph Contin which is a slow release medication that I take every 12 hours. And it’s not even relieving the pain anymore.
