I will say that pain management doctors have really failed patients anymore. They spend all they're time worrying about narcotics and covering they're butts. They forget about true pain patients that have never abused meds once. I had a pain doctors a couple years ago that I had been a patient with him for years. I had been using morphine for over 30 years without one issue. With the FDA new guidelines came out he told all of his patients he was stopping all patients narcotics. And I mean every patients overnight. The most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Thank goodness I have an awesome mayo doctor that doesn't get all involved into the media hype. I pray you find a truely caring doctor that will help you. Because being in pain 24/7 can wear on you so badly. And it wears on you mental health so much too. But we're all here to help if you need it
