When to Accept Dr Tells You Pain Forever? Posted: 12-12-03 03:39am
I was in a car accident a year ago. Still
experencing severe pain. 4 months of
physical therapy, 3 epidural injections.
Mri showed bulging discs but dr said it
wasnt bad enough to do surgery. Right
now, i'm taking neurontin, ultram, duracet
and also prescription sleeping pills
because its so hard to sleep. When I get
a new prescription for a new pain pill, it
will sometimes ease the pain for a week or
so but thats all. My Dr. Has told me
that i'll always be in pain (physical med
and rehab dr) and there is nothing he can
do--but somedays, its so bad that it hurts
to breathe and I can only sit for maybe 15
min at a time. So when do you just accept
that the dr says its not going away?
