1. I had my 6mo checkup with PCP. He quit Rxing my pain meds July 2015.
2. Discussion of current meds led to him basically telling me all the CME he is getting locally is discouraging any use of opioids. His wisdom, “yup, the momentum swings too far in one direction when these things come about.”
- Had my 1 month visit with pain management. He said he just returned from a 3-day pain mgt. conference at Harvard. He said in 3 days of talks, only one physician spoke on how the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction and patients are being adversely affected.
- A friend of mine in Spokane, Wa (which I have heard has no pain management physicians and they have to travel to West side Washington for evaluation) is having a total knee replacement
in Sept. My friend was told by the surgeon his post op pain medications are, wait for it……
ta da, Celebrex and Lyrica ! Really !

heres another ?/point..We all know Pain management USE to be a lot cheaper w/1 visit a year,,Soo they have made it more expensive,,,then bitch about the money,,,
Now,,they have taken away MEDICINE,, that has been used to lessen physical pain for 3,000 years,,,,and these idiots think it ok,,,force physical pain onto another living entity,,,Surgeons who screw up are jumping for joy,,,because we can no longer ask for medicine after the hack into our bodies,,thus proving on their record,,,their great surgeons,,,,no pain medicine needed,,,U KNOW THAT IS WHAT THEY WILL WRITE ON YOUR RECORDS,,, instead of the truth,,refused to give patient any meds for pain,,,,,
A little off topic…I mentioned a couple of time,,,my mother in law,,has federal health care insurance from her deceased husband who worked for the feds for 30 years,,,She has never ever seen abill,,,did not know what a deductible was or a out of pocket..My point being,,,does anyone know the name of that insurance,,[I don’t talk to my mother in law much,] and is their anyway to find out,,how much the federal employees use in monies each year,,,,,from the federal government,,OUR TAXES,, to pay for their excellent health care????I just watch cspan,,where they want to take away medicaid for ALLLL CHILDREN,, because it cost tooo much money,,,I would love to know,,how much money the federal insurance of federal employees use of our tax dollars,,,,how do I find that out??maryw
It’s true, WA state is getting ready to tackle acute/surgery med limitations now for 2019. Staffer at WA st said there’s always legislators, docs, insurance reps, but no chronic pain patients there when they meet. Any one in WA want to work together to see what can be done? Pain management and street abuse/death shouldn’t be put in same category.
If I /we did not need the medicine,,,for me anyways,,i would never step FOOT in a doctors office EVER AGAIN,,,,NOW,,,AFTER ALL THIS,,,ILL LITERALLY DIE FIRST,, before I step into another doctors office,,Last week I had to go to a foot doctor,,Soo I was told be my p.m. doc,,,,,Soo,,,,,my feet burn,,have weird callouses that never heal,,typical pancrease issue,,and need surgery for broken foot due to severe gross bunoins,,both feeet,,,all my toes ,”clubbing,” and am not talken going to a dance floor,,well ,,this a-hole,,,who has been a Doc for 30 years,,tells me all this,,rite,,but will not mention the word pancreatits/diabetic feet,,,for thee obvious reason to me,,,no diagnosed pancreatits,,no need for medicine,,rite ,,well this sob,,is leaving the room literally,,and I asked him,,playing the stupid stupid blond now,,”what could be causeing all this,,,he comes back w/””’what u coming down of your drugs now,;”””My husband stood up and we both said it the same time,,”what did u just say??”’,,he slams the door and keeps walken,,,,,When we exit the room,,i had to get my shoes on,,,,we asked a nurse where the hell is he,,she of course replied in w/another patient,,,Now this poor exscuse for a man,,is a surgeon and a foot doctor,,,,I have come to believe any surgeon when it comes to physical pain,,,exspecially if it due to their surgery,,,is a asshole,,,
Again,,if I did not need MEDICINE,, I would never choose to step into a doctors office EVER AGAIN!!!I NEED 3 SURGERIES,,,I WILL NOT HAVE THEM DONE..THEIR TOOO CHICKEN TO GO IN TO LOOK AT MY PANCREAS,,SOO I TOO WILL LET IT DIE,,, everytime it swell,,we/I ,,,u can feel it, trust me can,,,,90 pounds lost since surgery,,I will let this pancreas die,,,,and never walk into another doc’s office again,,they can do a ,”special,”autopsy,,and look at every spot in my body that has cause severe pain,,,,and then my hubby ,,w/the 1 million life insurance will sue the LIVING CRAP,,, out of all them!!1,,
what does this have to do w/pain management being viewed like a drug factoy,,when it use to be view as a field of medicine that literally saved peoples life,,by filling that gap,,of all thee desease induced physical pain,,all the ,”i don’t know why,,,all the surgeons screw up,,all thee mis-diagnoses,,,,pain management use to fill that gap,,and made sure as a humane society,,no-one was left to die in agony,,,now,,,since dea,,,cdc,,klondyn,.,the government,,wants to play doctor with our lives,,literally,,,your better off,,not stepping foot in a doctors office,,,,sadly,,we have stepped back to the dark ages,,,,,,and until doctors step up,,instead of worrying about their liscence being taken,,until DOCTORS,, defend the physicaly ill,,were dead,,,left dieing in agony,,,,,,,,when their are medicines,,designed exactly to stop/lessen the physical pain..At least this way,,my life insurance will pay out,and I won’t have to be degraded,,,disrespected,,,and talked to like a piece of shit from some asshole who knows nothing about the field of medicine or being a human being!!!maryw
