I know exactly what your going through. I have a very long story in regards to SI Joint Issues, Osteoarhritis, Spinal Stenosis, Kyphosis,Herniated Discs and Buldging Discs. One specialist said I had Drug Abuse Problems ( I was only seeing him) so this has been on my record for 5 years. With this I am unable to find any one to take me at all seriously, Even though I have CT's and MRI's that show all the degenerative things and signs of MS. I found a doctor through the same clinic, she listened and decided I should be treated with meds and other treatments to help build stronger muscles. She is absolutly wonderful and your right in what you say, Doctors are far and few in being compationate of their patients. We pay them enough and were not always looking for pain meds! One doctor told me to get the hell out of his office because he saw I had been perscribed a narcotic 8 months ago and that I have a serious problem! Is that how they treat people with addiction problems??? They seem to judge you immediatly when you walk in with ANY type of pain and think your a seeker. I'm just happy my medication is carefully watched and I do lots of meditation.  I feel for you and wish you only the best. It's so hard when people look down on you right when they start asking what your pain level is.
