Pain management d/cd me suddenly and idk what to do
A couple weeks ago I was supposed to have an appointment with my pain management dr and after I drove out there said she couldn’t do it because the lab work results I’d had done didn’t get to the clinic. She blamed me for it because even though I requested the records I didn’t follow up and I should’ve been proactive about that so that’s why they were ok with having me drive the 30 minutes out for nothing. I also had taken the day off of work but that’s besides the point.
When I started pain management she told me to call two business days before I’m out with roughly 10 doses left and she gets prescriptions in within those two days and the past few times that had totally been fine. I had already called that Monday morning then reminded them again that afternoon as they were turning me away and they said they would get on it. So I was then calling daily to check on the lab results and then by Wednesday I was checking for the meds they still hadn’t prescribed. I was freaking out at this point because I was out Thursday. I still got no communication from them or updates about anything.
Thursday I started to go into withdrawal during work because I still didn’t have the prescriptions in and I called in the morning to remind them and then again in the afternoon and I got brushed off both times. My fiance ended up calling in for me saying that all this was ridiculous and I’m now looking at having to go to the ER because they aren’t doing their job. They did not take kindly to that, immediately called me to check my ass about him calling in saying it was inappropriate and that I was now on notice. She did finally say that they had been working on the pain pump approval and that’s why there didn’t seem like anything was being done and why they weren’t putting in my prescriptions (we hadn’t even had the conversation about the pain pump and I still don’t know what’s going on with that). She did get the meds prescribed that night though so fine, whatever.
Come my next appointment she had me drive 45 minutes out (traffic) for a 2 minute lecture saying she was discharging me from her care and that she will no longer provide any prescriptions for me and then proceed to lock the office door behind me.
I’m still trying to understand what went wrong and this has definitely become medical trauma that I’m tired of collecting. I tried to go to a different pain management location and they won’t manage my meds I’m on or the pain pump that I still have a consult to do coming up. My body reacted really badly to interventional managements and I’ve gone through a lot of different medications and so I feel stuck in my treatment plan. I also am stressed because I have no dr who will maintain my medications right now. I don’t have a life without these meds. I can’t work without them. I will be curled up in the fetal position on bed rest if I don’t have these meds. I’m 23 yo and I reeling from the sudden disconnection from my pain doctor and I’m still struggling to understand what happened and why she felt like discharging me was the correct thing to do.
