Chronic Pain Support Group
Physicians and professionalsdefine pain as chronic if it lasts longer than three to six months and is persistent. It's distinct from acute pain that is a direct result of injury or trauma. This support group is dedicated to those suffering from chronic pain. Discuss treatments that have worked for you, find advice for your specific experience, and find support. You're not...

Okay, most of you remember my rant after seeing my first pain mgt doc in 18 months and what a butt head he was.
Well, I just got back from PM#2 and oh my GOD-what a difference. I emailed him my story the night before so he had an idea what to expect!
The first thing: Urine Test-no prob I will pee for you!
He was thorough, compassionate, attentive, and helpful and had a full plan of action laid out for me before I even left. It included TRIGGER POINT INJECTIONS TODAY!!!!
My first time!!!! Why has no one done this to me in the 16 G.D. years I have been suffering? I am numb right now. Next-repeat the Bi-lateral SI Joint injections that the butt head did. Then Facet Joint injectionsthen after that burn the nerve to the facet if necessaryafter that perhaps .perhaps a Medtronic Device if warranted.
Now, I ask, was that so G.D. hard? Oh, yeah, upped my med levels so that I get real reliefgave me a brand new TENS unit and ordered me a new back brace!
I think I have died and gone to heaven. Please, do not give up on finding a good doctor! They are out thereI promiseI worked for and with many in my careerI praise God he helped me find this one. So far, so good.
Keep the faith Yall

I remember feeling like 1000lbs had been lifted from my shoulders after I walked out of his office.
I noticed you got SI Joint Injections....have you been diagnosed with SI Dysfunction?
I was and a dr in Atlanta performed 2 surgeries on me and left me in a mess. I'd love to hear your story sometime.
