I have both a pain management doctor and an integrative pain specialist that work together on my care. I am prescribed oxytocin troches & ketamine troches. They dissolve under your tongue and work together for pain. I have to say, it's the best pain relief I've had so far. They are considering a ketamine infusion.

Thanks for sharing. I went to 3 pain management drs. 3rd gave me 5 mg oxy. So frustrating I didn't go back.First 2 have a total of 6 injections, no effect. Then my reg. Dr. Gave 25 mcg fentanyl patch. Interrupts sleep, and vivid violent dreams which are uncharacteristic of the norm. Now waiting on surg. Appt. And referral back to 5mg pain dr. So limited in rural healthcare. Especially if in number 1 region for opioid abuse. I get it, but! Also the previously mentioned patches don't make the pain tolerable. I just want to function.
