Why does the pain management clinic want to know my psychiatric care and psychological assessments?
What does that have to do with car accidents and degenerated vertebrae and other areas of pain?
I have been desparate enough to be willing to be put on a mental pill, but that didn’t work out, and a lot of physical pain can cause depression and frustration. And the pain has been bad enough I have thought about being willing to try again. I have also been diagnosed in the past with depression.
Why are they not also asking other questions like all of my history, especially history related to what drugs I should not be on for medical reasons (physical contraindications such as blood pressure, heart and liver, and drug interactions)?
And why doesn’t the physical therapist and the physicians who will or have seen me more often not require All this same information? But 2 physicians do have a history of me on file, just not the same way (I have to fill pages of permission and names of people out for information to be transferred to this place and it’s tedious).
What is a stronger drug for pain management?
I am in sever chronic pain. I can not take anti-inflamitories / /NSAIDS for other medical reasons. I have tried vicodin, tylenol #3 and Darvoset. The first two do nothing, the Darvoset at its highest does just barely helps, but not enough. I am getting bounced around with refferals within my insurance plan and everyone I see says they can not treat the kind of pain I have, that I need a pain clinic. I went there and they said they will only do injections into the joints and that is all they do, so prescriptions or pain management. I feel like I am stuck. I have called all the dr’s office, been to the urgent care and the pain dr, called my medical group and called my insurance – everyon tells me to talk to someone else!!!!!!!!! I am in so much pain and frustration. So, I was wondering if anyone knows anything else that might help me. The pain is from osteoarthritis in my hips.
