Am I missing something? No one is listening!

My pain specialist is not listening. At first he/they were open and willing. Now, for some reason, they seem to be suspicious and uncaring..... almost scared, sometimes. They have insisted- and I MEAN inSISted!!- that I reduce my pain meds. I have been forced to reduce my oral meds by more than 70% over the past two months. Complaints... Read more Chevron

He said that when scripts are wrote for 100 or more red flags pop up and bells start ringing. I guess he starts getting looked at for giving out pain meds un-warranted. So he... Read more Chevron
