How Can Pain In The Neck, Back And Shoulders Be Treated?

I am a workers comp patient and have been on pain management for about 2 yrs and currently taking low doses of methadone(10mg) and 90 norcos and 60 somas a month which seems to be keeping my pain bearable. I have nerve block procedures about every 6 to 8 months for my back and I am scheduled for a nerve block for my neck this month. I was evaluated at 57% permanently disabled. I m waiting on surgery s for my left knee and then my back and shoulder and neck. I have back ,neck,both knees and left shoulder and headaches on my work comp with lifetime medical. I am a little nervous about changing to a work comp doctor because I have heard so many bad things about the care. Is this rumor or is there truth to this because insurance does not like to approve any thing. Sorry if I sound so negative but I have heard this over and over. I just want the truth. Thank You very much.
