Any pain management secrets?

I have 3 more weeks of 3 stents and I'm miserable!

No. =( I'm SO sorry!

The only thing I depend on is my pain management Dr. for help. But I had her long before this surgery.

Because of the obscure and hyperbolic laws in US, Pain Dr.s have to be kept separate from other Dr.s. But perhaps you need to see a pain Dr. now, if you are the person I am thinking of.

I don't know how your Bariatric Dr is helping you or how long he feels he can prescribe you medication until he gets nervous, because the system essentially puts the 'fear of God' in Dr.s who Rx pain meds. Sad, because it affects people who desperately need help.

If your Bariatric Dr. is not covering your pain, it's time to get an appointment with a pain clinic and I'd tell him or her that.
