How Can chronic Pain In The Neck And Back Be Treated?

My pain management doctor is leaving his practice and I need to find another. I have had 5 surgeries on both neck and back, and have been in chronic pain since 1999. I have done all the shots, therapy anything that they suggested to relieve my pain. The only thing that gives me any quality of life is the pain meds I have been on since 1999. But I am having an issue finding a doctor who will prescribe them. Can you help please

Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
In my opinion you need regular physiotherapy and medication.
I am sure there will be some doctor in your area who will prescribe you pain meds if you look for him.
In this forum we can only suggest and not prescribe. moreover the medicines in your area may be different then the ones available in my region. So it is better to consult a local doctor for the same.
