@guga So many stories we hear here from people who have been blocked from getting the pain management they truly deserve, shows me that the people who do "drug shop" have ruined for the rest of us. While I can certainly see the opioid crisis is in need of regulating, it is frustrating, isn't it? I hope that with your documentation of what has happened to you, with you, you will be able to get some relief and help. Shopping for a new PCP is always difficult, made more stressful by having an existing problem. Perhaps friends and acquaintances could give you a few names of doctors they are pleased with, to help in your search? You may have to extend your area of search, if you can ambulate.

The problem has been a increased with the opening of these pain clinics where you have to stand in line up to 2 hours or more get your medication or talk to somebody as well as urine tests. They treat us like criminals and we're there to get what we need as we don't get high. The second most things is that these pain doctors who all needs clinics throughout make anybody Distributing opioids. The way they make their money as they want to give you a jections which is the worst thing you can get done about knowing what it could cause.I have been just diagnosed with Arachoiditis a disease which can be caused buy needles and surgery. If you are going to other medical doctors to try and get your pain under control they want to get you out of there as they don't need you as a customer. It's just gone completely the other way in the way that dealing with her our pain medication. I am off opioids now and I'm following the special doctor's care and it's working exercise
