Just another day

By Tinygirl3366 Friday, November 09, 2007
Unsure Just had to vent a little bit. My jaws and teeth and gums are killing me. I have possible TMJ and was wondering if the osteoarthritis can cause it. I have to go to my ENT Dr next week and I hope she can fix it. I also was cut off of all my meds and haven't had any in two months. My family Dr told me if my specialist changed me to a stronger pain med he would write it out for me but when my orthopedist did my family Dr dropped all of my meds. I fought for my meds for almost four years before I finally got them and now I have lost them again. I don't know whether to ask my family Dr or my orthopedist to give me a referral to a pain clinic. Please help. Any suggestions would help me greatly. Your friend in sickness. Leslie

Dear Leslie,

 

I'm very sorry to hear about your current situation.

 

It's not clear to me whether you were denied medication due to insurance reasons or whether it was entirely your doctor's decision.

 

If it was due to insurance, I recommend speaking with your insurance provider as soon as possible. 

 

If this was a medical decision made by your doctor, then I recommend speaking directly with your doctor.

 

Our site does have information and resources about doctors and hospitals, which may be of help if you need to find a new doctor.

 

I wish you the best of luck and please keep us updated on how you're doing.

 

Best,

Katherine
