Sometimes I think they just don't understand that we go through enough and tolerate enough .. and if giving us pain meds makes the experience a little better, then just do it! No point in putting someone through more pain and suffering than what is absolutely necessary!!!

Hello! i've had the same problem with my CF doctors not wanting to give me anything for the pain- even my "regular" doctor has problems and says people get addicted and blah blah blah. yes people do get addicted, people get addicted to EVERYTHING. We created these medications to help with pain so why arent we allowed to use them?
i had a pnemothorax last october after having problems all summer and my FEV1 going down to a horrible 40-50 percent. they had to do surgery and remove 1/3 of my upper lobes because they were so damaged. since then i've had this horrible speratic pain in the insizion site and my lung that had the surgery. i ended up having to join a methadone clinic because no one would give me anything for the pain. Let me just tell you that was the worst thing i could have done because now my CF doctors look at me like an addict! and i had no idea how methadone causes such bad withdrawel if you dont take it everyday. So now im in the process of trying to taper off it and then go from there.
But anyway i feel your pain! Literally.

Have you ever gone to a pain specialist or reached out to another doctor?
<br />
<br />I wouldn't tolerate non-treatment like that.
<br />
<br />Be aggressive!

I know what you mean, I hate it when doctors look at you like you're trying to scam them into giving you pain meds or suggest ibuprofen or motrin. I just had 4 lines put in within a 2 week period because the lines got infected and the other ones caused a large blood clot in my right arm. I was in so much pain and they were hesistant to give me anything. Finally they understood and prescribed it for me. The surgeon who just put my port in also gave my parents a hard time when they asked for a script of percocet for pain. He wound up giving it to us but my mom said he was clearly not happy about it.

Hello! As if we don't deal with enough crap everyday!! Docs need to buck up and write out the scripts already <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif" border="0"> I'm so sorry you have to go through all this.
