No pain clinic, just new GP as my original GP since 97 I feel may have been overwhelmed with my increasingly complex case reach his limits plus hospital Dr. may have threatened him with his prescriptions of hydromorphone and his DEA license? Don’t know! But I am seeing a neurosurgeon in two weeks Friday. Pay the $35 copay only to have him here my completely and other surgeons screw/ups and show me the door. Many Medtronic’s SCS videos talk about waking the patient up in OR, while the device Rep produces a generic signal to get feed back on electrode placement while still able to move and adjust. I will find out but the my man-hood has been stolen by Dr’s who guessed while not exactly locating electrode location. Once they “Glue” you up, they are done and wait for paycheck. I can no longer walk with a cane as my last good elbow is hurting now. Unfortunately greed and power drive many who are ambitious and we suffer. While in extreme pain everyday, I get a medication the blocks opioid receptors while providing opioids in small amounts. Designed for addiction, I am not one after 6yrs 10 months of this opioid, I was cut off over night. Now experiencing withdrawal symptoms, teeth problems, diarrhea and pain. Loose / loose. I have a 1-0 quality of life and all they can say is this is all I am getting? A soldier with head & amputations get what, aspirin? Stupid rules made by people who never had a paper cut or stubbed toe. It is sad to become jealous of people walking passed my house. I can’t do that. I am soon to give up if something doesn’t change!!!

Thank kindly, I am seeing a new neurosurgeon next Friday. I crossed my fingers, then tapped them together. 🙂

Thanks kindly for your thoughts! I can’t wait to be pain free. Maybe!
