This is a very informative interview with Dr. Frank Fisher, M.D. on the undertreatment of chronic pain in the United States.

Just finished listening to this interview. Very eye opening. It makes you stop and think about why your doc is not treating your pain appropriately.

yes it is an eye opener re the docs. They should all listen to that and those that regulate pain meds also should be hearing it.My own Dr. is good re my prescriptions but has not given me anything for break through pain yet.The other drs at clinic if mine is away treat me cruely even though they can check and see that I have not abused them. It is an awful feeling to be treated like that. marilyn

You're right; the Dr's are in a bad spot. It's a serious shame that we with chronic pain get stuck in the middle hoping someone take us seriously.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
