Due to other health problems and the hardest and very devestating events that have occured within the last two weeks I am at my lowest and in 6 years dealing with the FM and now trying to find help with myofascial pain and I can barley walk due to my right leg and knee my pain has hit past 10. The dr. I have been seeing has had me on 20 mg oxycontin 3 x a day with 60 percocet for 30 days since July 07 and I have not been able to see him due to Feb my new grandbaby was in NCIU for a month and his mother well she is part of all my stress I have tried to get my appt and cannot get in until APril 21. I have to appear in court and testify against my own daughter and I cant get relief unless I take 40 mg and that tends to get the pain to a manageable state where I can at least be out of bed not cry so much but with no where to go that I know of as all these pain clinics want to give you shots for your bulding disc that is not the problem it is widespread if I continue to take the 2 pills I will run out and I don't need that right now I live between KC and St Louis Mo I need help as this pain and stress and sadness is taking a toll on my body Just to sit here and type this has used energy that I have little of



Hello Gfox
It's nice to meet you and welcome to the Chronic Pain Connection.
I'm really sorry for all your stress and difficulty. It would be easy to tell you to reduce your stress, but if it's caused by court cases over a grandchild, I know that is not possible for you.
I'm sure you've probably sent message to your doctor about your pain situation and if you cannnot get in until late April, then I don't know what your supposed to do.
Do you see a pain phyc? if you do, then I would possibly try and go through another of your doctors to get in earlier to see your prescribing doctor sooner. Otherwise, I'm really not sure how you should go about this.
I'm really sorry and I hope & pray that your able to get through this very stressful time in your life.
Take care
Betty
