I use a patient portal also with one of my doctors. My other two doctors don’t have that. The neurologist I see and has given me my only temporary relief from the surgical site nerve damage I have, let’s me email him. I will explain why for the most part, known of this is any real help for someone with my medical problems. My surgery was to repair a rectal tear. I have a real problem sitting anywhere. The surgery also caused both my feet to have peripheral nerve damage. That showed up as soon as I came home that evening from that surgery. I can’t stand for very long because of the pain. My trips to a doctors office is rare and only when I get my injections for the surgical site. You would think that would be enough to drive anyone up a wall but I had a surprise waiting for me down the road. I was prescribed the Fentynal patch for the excruciating pain I was experiencing. When I finally had a very bad medical problem, a pancreatitis attack, that was caused by the use of that Fentynal, I decided to detox from that. The surprise was that I have Central Sensitization Syndrome. I also found out that I could no longer use any pharmaceutical drugs. Chemical sensitivity. The reality is I talked to a lot of different doctors and I tried to have conversations about all of this. Their dumb comments, their rudeness, their arrogance at me even questioning them was just too much. Yes I know there are some doctors who try to buck this system, but it is called medical suicide. They won’t get any of the perks if they don’t go along with the program. The neurologist I see, does not prescribed any opiates. He turns away any pharmaceutical rep that shows up at his office with this idea because he knows how damaging that crap is. Other doctors go along with it. He doesn’t get a lot of patients because of it. This situation you might find interesting, I did an have experienced it first hand. If I need to go any doctors office for any reason, and since I can’t really stand for very long or sit, know of these place can accommodate me in having a place I can lay down so I can wait for the doctor. I can’t last that long and just have to leave and go home. Weird since they are suppose to do this.

@goldleaf I am very sorry for all you have gone through. I believe that no medication is without faults but sometimes the faults are worth it, particularly if a patient is in extreme pain, or if the medication can correct a problem that can cause serious health problems. Not being able to use any must make it very difficult for you to deal with the pain.
I winced when I read that the surgery was to repair a rectal tear. When my son was born he should have been a caesarian but the arrogant doctor who was subbing for my vacationing doctor did not do one. My son was big and "sunny side up" so I tore all the way through my anal sphincter. I was in pain for months, particularly riding in the car. It sounds like you still have pain after the surgery. I never had anything done for mine, it just eventually healed on its own, but it took many months because of course when I emptied my bowels It would aggravate it. I hope your pain does eventually resolve.
