Is anyone staying abreast of this whole #opioidscrisis #opioidepidemic #dea #Kolondny going on?

I'm sorry they're not listening to you. I hope you find the right pain management doctor for you

My husband told me that Pres. Trump said he’d like to do away with half of all pain meds use! I’ve been on pain meds off and on from 21 to mid 30’s since I had received approx. 20+ surgeries in that time. Then 20 years ago ruptured L-4 and L-5, L-5 S-1. Pain was unbearable .

I have been taking hydrocodone for years, it's the only thing that has made me a productive working women. Now I'm being weaned off now my Dr wants to give me nsaids. I told him I've tried it all.
Hydro n ibuprofen works for me...its amazing...ask ur Dr. about it..
An MRI from last month shows that I now blew out the disc at c2-c3 and c7-t1 with c5-c6 and c5-c6 having gotten worse since surgery. The surgeon handed me off to a pain specialist.

Get a different dr!!!
