Long Time Pain Finally Receives Long Term Pain Medication

[pixplzthx]

So I just left the kid around the corner.

After dealing with seven years of chronic cervical pain (stenosis) a doctor was finally willing to prescribe a pain medicine regimen.

TKATC gets 4 7.5/200 (hydrocodone/ibuprophen) daily. I asked TKATC if taking medicine everyday was all that appealing. Without hesitation:

"No. I never wanted this. But I'm tired of hurting, too. I've jumped through all their hopes. I tried an assortment of exercises, chiropractic, physical therapy, etc. Name it. I've tried it. But, my current Dr wasn't meeting my medicinal needs. So after one more trip to the urgent care I was given the best bit of advice so far: You need a different doctor."

The kid around the corner didn't want to be accused of "doctor shopping" but now had the ammunition if you will to change doctors.

I'll keep tabs on the kid every now and then and report back. But for now, all is well.
