Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have just moved to Richmond,VA and for the past 7+ years I have been treated for extreme chronic pain because of several problems with my lower back including broken tail bone which is in my L5 , the additional problems include degenerative disk disease to the L5,L4 and it is also now in the disks in my neck. I received medication, I wear a tens 8-9 hours per day and I have had epidurals. These are not done often due to the fact I have a bleeding disorder so I have to have an infusion of DDAVP and 8 hours after I become very sick from the epidurals and they treat me due to nausea and vomiting with medication as if I had chemo. I went to the Jupiter Hospital Pain Management where they could drug test me at any time and the only medication you had was what you were prescribed by them and my primary doctor and known by them to be in my system. I am almost out of medication and will become very sick and I am trying to find a doctor in my area who is able to prescribe and treat me but NOT a pill mill. I have very bad chronic pain and I due require the medication but I understand the difference between medical dependence and a drug addict
The issue of chronic pain does not respond to drug therapy alone as you are already experiencing by self.
In our clinic, I recommend specific behaviour therapy sessions, suggestion techniques of lifestyle modifications, dedicated guided meditations, relaxation techniques, YOGA prove best for long-term benefits.
If interested, you can book an appointment for my consultation online and proceed further in this regard.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
