I just came from the doctor and my depression and anxiety plus of course my pain is off the charts. They pretty much told me i was unhelpable.
It took me over 20 years to finally find a combination of meds that keeps my problems controlable. Don't give up! I'm pretty sure there is a combination out there that'll help you also!
I was told in my pain clinic when i went there that they are not allowed to ask you for your pain number anymore because it makes them liable and its written in your chart..there are so many wrong doing for chronic pain people
My Dr. just does not believe in my Depression and Anxiety almost at all, He knows my pain is bad yet everytime I say anything the first words out of his mouth is "you are not getting anymore Pain Meds" I am not asking for pain meds I just wanted him to know about my Pain, and the Depression and Anxiety. I do not know why all of a sudden the Dr.'s do not actually want to listen to their Patients, but I DAMN well will be ready when they do.
Yes. I too had this answer from my Specialist. He said there was nothing else he could do for me. I sat in the hospital grounds and cried. Then I had to pick myself up and get on with trying to cope with my pain. I hope they come up with a miracle for us all.
I have been in Pain since 2003, and High Anxiety since 1976 my Depression came just after that but when it was I was only 13-14 and they did not have Depression aids for children because they did not believe that kids had depression. No one will listen to me about my Depression Anxiety or my pain the gave me Buprion and Citalopram and for pain Oxycodone 5mg and Fentanyl 125mg every 3 days it does not control either but that is what they want to give me If I could have help I would go there
