Dawn,
I am saddened to hear that you have to put up with such idiots. These
drs. should not be able to practice pain management if they can't do
their job. Please do not give up because there are some drs. that do
care and will help you. I wish you were closer to Dallas,TX so I could
take you to a good dr who tries to help people in pain. I pray that you
will find a dr. soon so you can get some relief from this devil pain.
My prayers are with you.
Lynn
