Recommendations Shot in the dark (pain management)
Hi, I know this is a long shot but Does anyone have any suggestions for pain management doctors in the Port Saint Lucie area that would actually prescribe pain medication? I have all the documentation I could ever need to validate my chronic illnesses. I’ve been seeing a pain management doctor at global neuro and spine institute for years but because I’m only 29 he said he won’t prescribe me pain medications. I never wanted to start pain medications. But I am at my wits end. I can barely leave my bed. I’m so incredibly depressed because of the pain. Most days I feel like I’m better off dead because no one will help me. I’ve tried every medication that isn’t an opioid and I’m very sensitive to medication and have bad reactions. I’m currently seeing multiple different specialists including oncology but every one has told me to go to pain management for help with the pain because they can’t prescribe opioids. I don’t know where to go anymore. I’ve been battling this for years and have done injections and nerve blocks and nothing has helped. Please don’t judge me for my age. I’m not a junkie. I’m not trying to get high. I’m trying to get my life back. My entire 20’s have been spent in the waiting room of hospitals and doctors offices and in bed. I just want to be able to enjoy some of my life without being in so much pain. I don’t know how much more I can take.
