@andilynn, I would encourage you to consider some pain management doctors. I've had years of experience with them, and found that though two were not good, two have been terrific. Here in Florida we unfortunately had the "pill mill" epidemic where greedy doctors were doling out opiates without making sure the patients were not substance abusers. Since the crackdown on these doctors I've found that there are anesthesiologists and M.D.'s who are most reputable and truly care for their patients. I found the two good doctors through contact with a support group of chronic pain patients. They were extremely knowledgeable about the doctors to avoid especially. The group had guest speakers who were professionals and my BEST pain management doctor was one of those speakers. She saved me. Don't give up! Help is out there.
