I think having this forum to talk to each other helps. If we go to a pain clinic and sign their paperwork follow the rules take as directed they arent going to take your medicine away. You have a right to pain relief. There are many people who are working for people in pain. Most people know nothing about chronic pain until it happens to them. Go to Amrican chronic pain association you will find that there are people to support you in findind pain relief. They have other sites to go to.

I have heard that some people smoke pot for pain. But if u go to a pain clinic like I do they pee test and we r not aloud to smoke ( in pa). Or we will be kicked out of the pain clinic!!!! I am willing to try anything for pain but will have to wait on the law to catch up to the needs of the people. Many people have moved to other states to get help for there children. Can't say I blame them. When u have pain you will try anything! Sharon

You might think so, but the Veterans Administration medical centers have already started to restrict opioids to cancer patients only and the only others to get them would be for temporary pain. They will send you to a variety of alternate methods of pain control, but there is no proven method that works, even opioids do not work for everyone. A bill has been proposed in Congress now to make the VA system a law. <br />

On another site like this I read of many people who had contracts with their doctors on pain medicine, but accidentally got thrown off them because of some minor problem such as going to the ER and receiving extra pain meds for some issue which then violated their contract. Some wrote that their doctor would not even discuss what happened with them. In some cases the clinics would bar opioids or insurance would no longer pay for the medication. <br />

Hopefully you will not have this problem, but some are according to their post in the Web MD pain site.<br />
