Waiting for the spine stim trial.
I am waiting on getting the trial going. The pain for the last couple years has been debilitating and depressing. I’ve lost my spark and life.
Here’s the kicker, none of the doctors I’ve seen have prescribed any pain medication, because of a new medical rule/law. I have been getting some from a family member to help me get through the incredibly bad days.
In order to move forward with my test, (I was honest with them about the unprescribed pain reliever) they require me to have 2 blood test to make sure that I am “sober” before I can do the actual test.
On a sidenote, I do not have an addictive personality and I’ve been taking 1 to 2 a day typically at night. I don’t abuse it and I have no shame over wanting to live a pain free life.
The issue is, I am in excruciating pain to the point where I can’t work. I can’t lift anything, it hurts to shampoo or brush my hair, do laundry, dishes, cook, pretty much everything that I need to accomplish on a daily basis.
I have tried every other type of therapy under the sun. So how do I get my primary or my pain doctor to prescribe the opiate until I get the tester implanted.
I cannot live like this. I’m beyond my wits end and if I didn’t have my son, I’d considered ending it all.
