@jimhd. I feel bad that they won’t even try pain meds for you. Doctors are willing to try and antidepressant or anti seizure medication to see if it reduces pain. Why not an actual pain medication?

My doctors have to follow the protocols set up by the Oregon physicians committee, which limits how much opioid they can prescribe. Even though opioids have been treating pain for centuries, because of the current opioid climate, a new perception of them has been adopted. It's irrelevant that many thousands of people have been/are now being effectively treated by opioids for chronic pain that no other medication has been of any help. It defies logic and reason that a medication suddenly becomes ineffective in the opinions of medical bureaucracy. And that so many doctors buy into the rhetoric. It's insulting to be told that it's all in my head., when it's actually all in my legs and feet.
