It was DMO! I remember now! I had forgotten they let Ron go. He was the backbone of the whole thing and did such a good job. I really hated to see it go. We had some great discussions there! I really...

What should I talk to pain management about?

The previous posters have given you great advice. These pain doctors have to show that the meds they give you really make an impact on your ability to function and that without them you would be back...

I also have insomnia along with chronic pain. I tried all the meds specifically made for sleep and either they didn’t work at all or after 2-3 hours I would be wide awake again. My doctor gave me...

CALIFORNIA PHARMACY DISPENSING ISSUE

Chronic Headache (since 7 yrs) - doctors have no idea why

Severe elbow pain

Sure sounds like tennis elbow to me. I carried two large machines all day long from place to place in my former job and it caused tennis elbow in both for me. After you get it, any movement you do...

For many years went back and forth between Oxycontin and MS Contin to deal with tolerance. . Years ago you could get Oxycodone ER for about the same price as the MS Contin. I guess when Oxycontin...

Responsible drug use - pressure from doctor

The way things are today, the only doctors that really want to treat chronic pain are the Pain Management Doctors. And I guess it makes sense that they are the most qualified to do so. Most of us of...

Unable to wear my glasses for 8 months now due to pain.

This sounds very close to the reason I cannot wear my glasses when experiencing a migraine. The way you explain pain radiating out from the bridge of your nose as if the frames are too heavy is...
