What should I do if I get opioid phobic pain doctor (like the one I fired)? I have a problem with that, It is proven that RSD is a very very painfull syndrome. I have tried other medications such as Neurontin, Vioxx, Effexor, and even was on a Steroid Prednasone, along with Nerve blocks and I was still in excruciating pain, and my PMD absolutely refused to prescribe me any type of narcotic at all.
One night after I recieved a block the pain was excruciating, and I didn't get any sleep at all. I was just laying down on my bed, hugging my puppy, and crying all night, it was the most awful night of my life. I called my PMD at 8:30 am when the office opened and told to him about what was going on over night, and the agonizing pain I was in, and that I couldn't sleep at all. He told me to take some Motrin, and he said that it couldn't be that bad(!!!!!what a nerve!!!!) At this point I was extremely upset, and in more pain I went to the Emergency Room. Well what a waste of time that was. The ER Doctor said that there was nothing that they could/would do, he said I have a PMD and if he felt that I needed pain medication he would/should have prescribed it for me.
Well over the next month I made 5 ER visits because the pain and symptoms waere getting worse,

the pain was so bad I felt nautious

all the time, and it was just not letting up at. I just couldn't take it anymore, but again there was nothing they would/could do, and the ER Doctor told me to stop coming to the ER for this and go to my PMD instead.
Well I am in search of a new PMD that is not afraid to prescribe pain medication when it is really needed. I can't, and shouldn't have to suffer like this anymore! This has also been such a strain on my relationship, but my fiance is always there for me, and he gets really upset when he sees me suffering, sometimes he will lay down and hold me when I am crying and he will cry to because it hurts him so much to see me in that much pain. We are appalled at the wat thet treated me at the last pain center I went to, and we are skeptical that I will be able to find a PMD that cares and will help relieve my pain.
Can someone please give me some tips on how to, and what questions to ask so I dont get stuck suffering alone again. I thought that Pain Management Doctors were supposed to help you relieve your pain,not tell you to suffer through it or that it is not that bad, how do they know any way? Please any help would be GREATLY appreciated
