Q: I am tired all the time. I am in pain all the time. I have had two spinal surgeries and the only thing they can tell me is "Failed Back Surgery Syndrom".

I feel as if I can no longer live like this and do no know where to turn. I have seen an Ortho, Pain Mngmnt, Neuro, Regular PC, oh and Behavior Health. They all just look at me and ask a bunch of questions I get tired of answering and basically have stopped answering, give me a script, and send me on my way. I take the meds, get loopy, still in pain, and more depressed than ever. I no longer have a life, I have pain. My life is run by it and I can't stand it anymore. I would like a suggestion on what type of doctor can offer a solution, suggestion on the right meds, They tell me to loose weight, I am about 40lbs over now due to gaining about 15lbs, but I don't know that will solve all my problems and how do you loose weights when you can't get up and move? I am on Long Term Disability now which adds to the depression because I don't have a job to go to every day. Suggestions??? Please

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with treatments for chronic pain.
