What do I do now?
I have been battling the medical system for about 6-7 years now concerning my chronic pain. I believe I have CRPS due to two injuries that I had 6 years ago. I have been to every. single. doctor. you could possibly think of and NO ONE knows what’s wrong or why I’m in pain. when I express the fact that i’ve been consistently suffering with all of the budapest criteria for CRPS, with years worth of photos/videos of my episodes to back it up, I’m still met with “there’s nothing we can do.” when I finally got in with a pain clinic that took my insurance, they suggested spinal shots and when I expressed my concerns with a procedure like that, I was told “they don’t treat pain there.” what pain clinic DOESNT treat pain? this is just the surface of what I’ve dealt with concerning the medical system, I’ve had doctors gaslight me, I’ve had doctors become argumentative with me, I’ve even had a doctor throw referrals in my face when I was begging and pleading for another avenue. I could write a series on the medical malpractice I’ve dealt with, I’m sure you all know this story.
aside from that, I am suffering. I am only 27 and I no longer have friends or a social life, I can only go to work and never have the energy or strength to do anything else but lay down. I am in so much pain all of the time, every single day. my baseline is a 7 daily, that’s only gotten worse over the years.
is there ANYONE out there that takes cash for care in oregon?
any pain clinics that WILL give me immediate help like pain meds to help break my episodes? I don’t drink, I don’t do drugs, I am willing to be on any type of pain contract just to get some help.
I don’t know where to look anymore, I just want to function again.
thank you for anyone who takes the time to respond.
