First, I disagree - not all doctors don’t care. I couldn’t be more please with my doctor.
Second, there has to be a reason you had drugs withdrawn. Please explain what the reason was. That way we can better help you.

Right, and just because a doctor won't prescribe pain meds (opiates) doesn't mean they don't care. Some doctors are not willing to take those risks with their patients. In the past, patient health was second to a doctor being rich. They have truly acted like drug dealers. If a person can function without pain meds, they should. Opiates are no longer recommended for chronic pain.

Doctor just wanted to see how I would feel without pain meds. I asked her if I still had trouble would she help me out with pain. She agreed she would. After I was off she now had said no to the help. I was tricked. Luckily the back shots help and if it does really get bad I do get short term pain meds. Our state has put pressure on the doctors to not give out pain meds.
