Pain Management Community

There are at least 100 different pain medications in all different classes of drugs and you are telling us you have gone thru a therapeutic level dose trial of all oral, sub lingual, bucal, trans cutanteous , as well as implanted electrical nerve and pumps that either confuse the nerve pain or infuse one or more drugs directly to the spine and through out all of this you have not found any relief??

I am sorry i find that to be to large a pill to swallow , I think the journey is long and tiresome and sometimes we want to sit and just say what the Hell i'm tired i can't keep doing this!! and that is when you turn to your support network and to a board of friendly people who understand when somebody needs a little support the strong help the weak and someday the roles may be reversed.

I have been to end of my rope where my pain was so bad i was ready to thank God for the time i had and "retire my life early" and somebody picked me up and gave me hope and sure enough i just had a week to wait and someone was there ready willing and able to get me back on the med's that the only Dr. in my little town would prescribe them for me had left to another state for a better job, so it took 2 months of living in agony to find this doctor 325 miles away who would prescribe them for me.

Now from what i understand with RFA you will feel worse before you feel better so remain hopeful , and if your pain meds are not working tell your doc and switch them around until you do get relief do not suffer in silence " What they don't know can hurt you" and please post us keep us informed ask any questions you have and we will do our best to answer them.

Peace
