Dear Missy,
I too am new at this site and have felt like finally, I am not alone. These
women not only offer incredible support, but information that will help you
feel like you have some control. The main advice I have for your problem at
hand ( the Dr/ pain managment) is to scream, yell, don't back off. I don't
have that type of personality, but have had to behave that way quite a bit in
the past year. You may even want to check with your insurance for refferals
or advice to get to a pain clinic.
I hope you feel better. Good luck & welcome.
Kelly Doucet
