I have a prolapsed disc in my neck, suddenly the docs have decided that the holding pattern of opioids (which I've now been taking for 3 years) is no longer acceptable and rather than pushing for the op to fix it they are pushing me on to more "socially acceptable, Just as addictive" but less effective drugs.
The major problem is there is no consistency with my treatment. I never see the same doc twice on the bounce even when I request a specific dr you never ever get them. I have even found they have straight up LIED to me regarding a number of things, including being referred to the pain clinic which in hindsight I didn't really miss anything
