(Apologies in advance for initiating many threads....)
My gp suggested I see a pain specialist, so I said yes, please generate a referral.
Since then, I've reconsidered a few disasters with physiatrists (functional medicine), and I'm wondering what a PM specialist could offer. I don't want to set myself up again.
Narcotics seem dead-end, unless someone would be willing to reasonably work with me to find an Ultram ER dose. No patches; they seem to lead to dependence, and I do not want my well-being tied up with a doctor or med to that extent.
I know there are some things out there that could work. I just don't want to feel humiliated, judged, or lectured to death. (Can you blame me?)
Anyone have a success story?
Looking ahead,
