Any known legal sources for chronic pain relief?- years of suffering -doctors unable or unwilling to help, tried meditation, aromatherapy, visualization, "just living with it", antidepressants, (doctors favorite solution) when I make a nuisance of myself once or twice a year doctor gives prescription for only week or ten days relief then back to six-eight months of misery-keep working for sake of my family but failing fast at 49 years old-I keep looking at these websites for new ideas but all I find is a lot of people in same situation-not drug addicted but drug dependent to elevate quality of life-So unfair that bad apples and criminals cause "the regulators" to make working people suffer for ...what ? Is the massive number of the useful pain medications produced somehow going to illegal users? If the doctors are all so afraid to prescribe for fear of losing their license, where exactly do these medications go? Illegal internet buyers? If I try to get help online the sources all want to contact my doctor(s) and I know what their attitudes are-besides I don't want to do anything illegal-any known pain clinics in Massachusetts/ Rhode Island area that take our problem seriously? Thanks

I think that very many of us feel or have felt like you do at one time. I would suggest that you call a few "Pain Mgmt centers" and see if they can suggest alternatives for you.They can also try new medicines that can help you lead a better life. If you don't like how you are being treated by your current doctor find a new one. I can't say that I would trust any on-line service only because they don't KNOW you. I know that there are some Dr referral services that can help you decide what doctor would be best for you. I have listed a few links below that may help you.
Unfortunately for some of us we know that for the rest of our lives we WILL be dependant on some kind of medicine that improves the quality of our lives. I know that personally I would rather have to depend on medicine then miss out on being able to spend quality time with my kids and being able to play with them instead of laying in a bed crying myself to sleep. We all have to make that choice at some time when you have chronic and severe pain that we have to live with.
