CRPS, arthritis dismissed by Dr wrongefully
I had a terrible fibula tibia and talus fracture and its very complex injury. Now im left with CRPS and advance trauma arthritis. Im young 25 years old male and i have so much sharp pain when i walk or put any weight or pressure on my right foot i dont even want to go on about the nerve/bone pain its so terrible im just tired with this broken systen in the country i am. i tried to end my life on decemeber 28 last year because i genuinely dont have any support. No family comes with me to appointments to testify how bad my condition is.. Im seeing a pain management specialist that my pcp referred me to. My first month with him he basically made me go from 10mg to 5mg oxy and instead of 3 times a day he changed prescription to 1 time a day. 2nd month he absolutely refused to prescribe medication after we tried nerve block which didnt help. 3rd month which is This month he prescribed me the 10mg oxycodone but he gave me just 1 tablet a day for 30 days. This doc is dismissing me from care because he wants me to go to another pain management to get spinal chord stimulator and medication management which makes no sense im going to pain medicine to manage my symptoms... not to be pushed around. My appointment with other pain management is NEXT YEAR. I only have very few pills left. Im trying my best to take them when its absolutely unbearable but unfortunately with my condition when I walk it makes it very unbearable feels like im stepping on broken glass. Before this pain management, my orthopedic surgeon was prescribing me my medication for pain but now that I started seeing pain management. They absolutely refuse to prescribe anymore medication especially oxycodone. My foot is extremely swollen if its not elevated which contributes to pain. I really dont know what to do or how to go about this. Every doctor I see for pain management is so great at dismissing you. I honestly dont know how much longer I can stay like this. Im currently homeless living in my dad's old van because I exhausted all my funds. I cant work my job picking up patients as nemt. What do you guys say to your doctors that makes them take you serious i feel like my condition is bad but im so bad with communication im not the best at English
