1. Have you recently been refused or denied adequate pain medication? (by
"adequate" I mean, are you on a prescription that is not relieving pain but
the doctor has told you it "takes time" or that he cannot prescribe
anything more potent)
Yes
2. What "excuse" did your doctor give you for not prescribing
narcotics/opioids? (fear of addiction, physical or psychological side
effects, etc)
Addiction..."You know, you're well on your way to becoming addicted."(family
doc)
3. What medication are you currently taking for pain? (name, milligrams per
dose and how many times a day). Is it effective?
Oxycontin 20mg 2 times per day. It is more effective than anything else I've
tried.
5. Is your ARD related pain preventing you from beiing a productive
person? (able to work, take care of family, etc)
Yes
Thanks Ginny. Love, Janet
