By all means go to a pain clinic. You need something to help with your pain. Most people that have pain do not get addicted.
Don't worry about taking pain meds, I fought taking them also but they can at least get rid of some of the pain.

>Please help me! i'm in so much pain. my surgions said that my adhesions where too futile for another surgury. i've had 6 from 1993 thru 1998. i've been alot better for about 4 yrs. now but now when the pain got so unbearable i went to my OB Dr. that did my last extensive surgury. he went in to remove a ovary that was missed on my complete hystorectomy in 1996. when he got in there he said it was like a bomb expoded insided of me. T hen he called a general surgon in to help him. they worked on me for 4 hrs. i was better for 4 years. Now when i went back to the same Drs., they don't want to touch me.They couldn't even get to the ovary and remove it then. Now what should i do? They want me to go to a pain clinic, but i'm affraid of taking too much pain meds and getting dependant on them. Please help i need some friends to talk too. elaine E
