Chronic pain in from osteoarthritis & stenosis

@borwin98 It is really sad to hear after all the years you have lived that you cannot find some relief for your pain. My only suggestion is to keep looking. Have you looked for a pain management doctor? There must be some near you. A neurologist might be another possibility. They can test you to see what's ailing you. Your present doctor should be able to refer you to someone who can help you. What kind of treatment has your doctor tried?
Whatever the case, I hope you have a restful and blessed Christmas and New Year.

Ask your current doctor to authorize MRI’s to image areas of pain. Images will support your pain concerns. If your current doctor won’t approve the MIR’s ask for a referral to a specialist who will. If doctor won’t authorize imaging and/or a referral to specialist perhaps one of his nurses will. If not begin to network using friends, family, etc. in an attempt to help finding different doctors. Even try a local hospital or go to it’s emergency room to get help.
Your current situation is unacceptable. If your have supporting images ask your doctor for imaging cd’s and take them with you. That will put him on notice that you're unhappy but sounds like he won’t care. However, the images are yours and you have the right to have copies. You can also contact your insurance for help. Hope this helps.

@heisenberg34 Thank you. I will continue to look for a more compassionate Doctor and, in the meantime, beg, borrow, and pay for any oxycodone pills I can get from friends. They help. Thank you, God bless you. Merry Christmas.
