I have had every procedure conceivable and now have lost insurance and medical coverage because the police dept I worked for found a legal means of discharging several officers in somiliar situations who either could not get medical release to light duty or had been on extended light duty. My problem now is I can not function due to pain and have considered going to Mexico to seek medications or am open to any ideas by anyone in similar situation. I need to have some type of pain intervention and support as I have been disabled by severe pain since the injuries. I’ve sought help for depression due to suicidal thoughts because of pain, but they agree my main problem is due to pain and they are not authorized to treat pain related problems, only depression caused by he situation. Any experience with this type of problem regardless of means I’m open too…
ADDITIONAL INFO:__________
I guess I should be more specific. I’ve done everything suggested. I had 2 pain specialist prior to losing insurance and recieved trigger point injects, spinal & cervical blocks, arm & elbow blocks. I’ve had rezetomies also. I’ve had bio-feedback, tens units, phy therapy w/massages. I now must rely on Dallas’ Parkland Hospital for treatment, but never see same dr twice since its a training hospital. I’ve been waiting 2yrs to get into their pain clinic. Its been 10mos and I’ve seen 1 dr who prescribed nothing and said to come back in 6mos for follow-up, possibly for one steroid inj. Before loss of insnce pain dr rx’ed 10mg hydrocodone every 6hrs & got a little relief, not a lot. I do phys thrpy and exercise daily. I guess what I’m looking for is info on where to find dr who will include pain meds and monitor use to avoid addiction,seems like drs avoid rxing anything. Can’t take NSAIDS because they’ve RX’ed so long caused ulcers in stomach/intestines.
