I had a plan with a pain journal where I used it as a journal of thoughts too to make argument. He skimmed it and I said if you're not going to read it, read the last page. That opened up discussion. Not an easy conversation by any means but reading the book Crucial Conversations sure helped in navigating the body language and posturing. I won a battle but didn't win the war. See what a 14 day pain trial gets me in two weeks. It better be a new pain contract but I don't foresee myself using the quantity he gave. See what happens. You have to know your condition, do the research to be able to converse, and know what you want. I made that mistake when I accepted Buprenorphine and being unprepared to discuss concerns.
