for a different reason, foot pain and get this, after say 6-7 years of putting up with that, a person here on MTs told me they had similar, suggested trying arch supports, did, wear them all the time and almost 99.9% improvement! I have no problem at all with signing consent form as I did in the past nor do I care about random testing. I did attend the arthritic swim classes and the pain was so bad. As I said before, want just enough to take the edge off, don’t like being zonked because it takes all to do this job. I have been so disappointed in the fact feel like I have had to do my own doctoring for anything and now the fibro seems to have settled in the rib cage. This has been going on now since at least the first of August, not relenting at all. I am in my 60s and most of the drug scene came after I was grown so I am definitely not a drug seeker. I understand how the clinics work- I could go for a patch, salve, ointment, whatever as long as I can take the edge off of this terrible pain that I have had to suffer through without any assistance from my primary, rheumatologists, etc. I have lost a lot of respect for the medical community in that I have had to grasp at straws just trying to assist my own self. You can believe it when I say I have spent the last 6 or so years hunting, seeking, trying to get relief without the pain clinic- I self-referred myself there- no physician did that for me- knew they were there but trying to take care of myself not going to the pain clinic, didn’t happen. |
Went to a clinic several years ago but - Hope to get pain under control
