Do opioids help with your chronic pain? - Successfully?

My new doctor took my pain meds away. Yes they do help tremendously. However she doesn't believe in taking them. She thinks I'm a manipulator since I have so many problems. I have fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease and she said she had it worse than me and ignored the fact my neck pops 24/7. Now I'm barely able to work. She has totally wrecked my life. She decided to take my 3 dose a day xanax and put me on klonopin once a day. My anxiety is off the charts. Now she has moved on and I now have to try the 3rd new doctor. I pray he believes me but I have a month to worry about it and still my meds aren't being called in correctly and I doubt they will be.

Try a pain management specialist. Find a new doctor and see if he/she will refer you to one. They prescribe my meds for me and yes, meds do help take the edge off the pain. Your anxiety is coming from the issue of being in pain and not getting relief. I am on numerous pain medications, an anti -anxiety/depression medication, anti- inflammatory and anti-muscle spasm medication, B12, Magnesium and a GERD medication. I still suffer from the pain but not as severe.

I am sorry about the pain and suffering that you are going through. Only you can tell the Doctor what you are going through. Everybody's Pain is different. Doctors today treat Patients as if the Patient is the Pain and by dismissing the Patient makes the Doctors' Pain go away. Pain Patients are Not the problem, Doctors and the Government are.
I have CRPS Type 2 which is rated as the most Painful Chronic Disease EVER Known to Human Beings and not One Doctor gives a damn. I would encourage you to reach out to a good Psychologist LCSW as mine has been my lifesaver the last 7 years. I use LiveHealth webcam service every WEEK for the last 7 years to get a Check Up from the Neck Up every week. Thank you Sylvia and God Bless You.Both.
