Complex hip pain with no answers

I can’t wait a month because I can’t walk or sit or do pretty much anything my leg is still partially paralyzed and the pain is just to unbearable to wait that long. I have tried all of those things and the opioids did help but no doctor will give me any because they say it’s addictive which it is but I don’t really have addiction issues like that and I don’t need it for long just long enough for me to get a surgery or procedure or whatever they are going to do

Tramadol is not addictive call them back and tell him you got to have something even if it’s Tylenol 3 Tramadol doesn’t do a whole lot either but I take it with Tylenol and 600 mg of gabapentin . anymore it’s hard to see any specialist right away , but you could tell her to call you if they had a cancellation people cancel all the time for

I am sorry about this. I know how humiliating it is to get opioids. I had to leave one pain management doctor because he started to have an attitude about it. There are particular buzz words to use and one of them is suffering. It is unethical to let you suffer. You were going to have to advocate for yourself if you’re out of private doctor, go to another doctor or go to a pain management clinic and explain your problem or call them for suggestions. I am in California and the laws here restrict doctor shopping. So it can become complicated if you change doctors trying to get the opioids I don’t know where you’re located , but your doctor can’t let you suffer. There’s other things like strong NSA IDs. Toradol is a great one. I get injections in my backside, but it helps epidurals and corticosteroids. They can do injections of lidocaine if it’s only one month to wait then I suggest you get some injections if you can’t get the opioids. Didn’t say what kind of doctor you’re going to are you at a private facility? Are you on Medi-Cal? Are you on Medicare? Do you have pain management clinics available near you and the best pain relief that’s non-medicinal is acupuncture. When my hips were failing and I had to wait for surgery, I drive from San Diego to Los Angeles for a three hour acupuncture treatment a couple times before my surgery and bio deep myofascial tissue release might help you. Sometimes it’s a big hopeless circle. You can go back to the emergency room if you can’t walk and ask them to check for herniated disc and you can ask your doctor to get you in on STAT appointment. With the surgeon. You can also get on a waiting list for your surgeon and you can get up every morning and call them around 9 AM to see if there’s a cancellation , good luck.
