I was wondering if anyone knows if a PM dr will treat me if I use MM for PTSD Heres my story, or I should say heres my life... I had a fusion on C-5,C-6, back in 2006 and still had severe pain from the site of the operation. In april of this year a garage door came down on me and herniated the disks above and below the fusion.. C-4-5, C6-7.. Now there going to have another operation in Oct. Im going to see a PM dr in a couple days and I take MM for PTSD... Im not sure what to expect when I see my PM dr, if hes going to treat me or tell me to try another dr.. I saw him in May 2013 and he told me to come back in a few months, gave me a bulky throcic neck brace and gave me several needles injections in my shoulder and neck mussels which did give me some relief for a few weeks.. He gave me nerotin and miloxcob?(spell).. which just causes severe stomach cramps and pain.. Even the 2 or 3 advil I take rips my stomach apart But I never mentioned the MM for STSD, because I had to explain the other BS.. Does anyone have any ideas if they will treat chronic pain Im having or is this just a waste of my time??... againI was seeing a regular dr who was treating my pain since 2006... I was on 2-200 milli Fentynal patches every two days and taking oxycodone 30mg for break through pain... Because of the cost of the fentynal patches my insurance allotment for 2013 was used up and the fentynal was $1300 a month, so they switched me back to MS Contin 200 milli x 4 times a day. They cost over $500 for 120 tabs and the oc was $125 a month. Now I just started 800 a month from SS Disabilty, in 2012 so its been a struggle trying to afford these meds and to pay rent, gas.. My regular dr had surgery in Feburary, and she was well aware of the troubles I was having affording the meds.. So another dr took her place for 6 months and the first time I saw here she gave me a pee test.. of course that was when I couldn't afford the MS Contin, so when the test came back it showed no morphin and before I could explain anything they shut me off of all meds. This was back in march of this year. I still have the unfilled prescription paper.. But since I didn't have a chance to explain it to her, Im a labeled a drug addict. I have been going through hell trying to deal with this disaster.. My regular dr was well aware of this mess but I didn't want to throw her under the bus saying she knew this or that... Now when I see a dr they don't care what im going through..but . Not even the surgeon.. They did give my oxycodone 5/325 only a few days worth... And Im not the kind of person that asks for them or begs.. I just go home and suffer and if it gets too bad I ll go to the ER But no matter where I go, I feel they think im a liar before I even open my mouth... Right now I go to PT 2 -3 times a week, but don't do any exercise or stretching, I just get treatment, light massage and ultrasound and stim... Now Im just going out of my mind tryin to deal with this pain all day, sleepless nights with ice melting on my pillow, never mind the everyday challenges of living a "normal" life, if you can call it that....

Lost and confused in Ct

Lol is there a question in that story there?
(My opinion) Really though, treatment is going to be subjective. If youve been deemed to have drug seeking behavior ect its going to be very difficult to get someone to take you seriously. I'm around doctors all day long (im not an m.d.) and have seen good people get shown the door but in general and this is usually the case. You will find we are human and empathetic, if your sincere and honest you will likely be treated.....good luck
