Chronic Pain Patient With Severe Anxiety And Panic Attacks (Page 3) (Top voted first)

I'm a patient going to pain management receiving OxyContin for chronic lower back pain and nerve damage in my feet and legs! I'm also seeing a psychologist who has diagnosed me with severe anxiety issues and ADHD disorders! I have hardware in my lower back (plates and screws), back fusion from S1 through L5 L3 L2! I've been disabled for 14 years! My question is, can my pain management dr tell me I have to pick and choose which meds I need the most? She's telling me I can't receive my pain meds and my Xanax too! I have a contract with a comprehensive pain specialist. Can she kick me out of pain management because of the new guidelines in Tennessee? I'm going through a divorce and I've lost my son in a car wreck! I'm in constant pain and I'm having a panic attack right now! I'm scared to death and don't understand what's going on! Please help me?

Timothy, yes they absolutely can make you choose. I also live in Oklahoma. I've had spinal fusions as well. I'd choose my pain medicine if given a choice. Pain causes anxiety. Too many folks overdosing with that particular combination.

Hi! I'm on Xanax & Suboxone for pain control of my CHRONIC headaches. WHY aren't both supposed to be taken together?

About time you face facts. There are other ways to deal with pain and anxiety besides drugs and it's why they need to cut you off. Back in the day we had pain also but didn't need all the narcotics that are used today. Be a man and fix yourself and stop whining about getting drugs.
