I don't know about family history. My mother was a raging alcoholic and my father a stepfather. I manage pain with a variety of medications including gabapentin, Baclafen and acetaminophen. When I can get it, I prefer minimum doses of morphine. I've found it to be an effective medication for me. The oxys-- oxycodone, oxycontn and synthetic codeine medications. Tramadol was also ineffective.

I've had medical marijuana to be unpredictable and expensive. By unpredictable, I mean it's difficult to control dosage or function well efficiently on it.

I've developed a high tolerance for pain but have an innate high tolerance to most medications. Anytime I see a new doctor, it takes too long get him/her to recognize this to be true.

So sad that your doctors lack empathy and will not respond proactively. I get it. Same here
