Mamafluh,

I am sorry you have so many concurrent issues and I can understand that it can be overwhelming.

While I don’t have any specific answer to your ailments I would suggest two things to think about. You are your own best health care advocate so if you don’t think your concerns are being heard by primary care physician then find another one. Not all docs are the same just like every other group of people. Depending on what state you live in(hopefully not
CA) your primary care physician can coordinate care with other care delivery folks. If you need more pain meds push your pcp for a coordinated care plan to meet your needs. Despite what some docs think it is their responsibility to provide you the care you need.

The second point goes to pain meds issue you bring up. The government deep reach into the personal relationship between a doctor and the patient has resulted in good docs from helping people. Keep looking for those good docs that want to treat the entire person.
