Need Help With A Health Issue

I HAVE OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE SPINE L5-S1 DEGENERATION OF THE BONES. I HAVE BEEN ON PETHIDINE INJ'S. DOC PRESCRIBED WEEKLY AS I AM BEDRIDDEN. THE PAIN IS VERY BAD. I CAN NOT SIT WALK OR STAND. CAN NO LONGER DO ANY SHOPPING HOUSEWORK OR COOK. NOW THE DOCTOR IS REFUSING TO GIVE ME ANYMORE. THE REASON I WAS GIVEN PETHIDINE IS BECAUSE I AM VERY LIMITED TO WHAT I CAN TAKE, AS I AM ALLERGIC TO CODIENE, AND I ONLY HAVE HALF A COLON AND THE SPECIALIST SAID IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT I HAVE TO STAY REGULAR AND THE OTHER INJ'S. AND TABLETS CAUSE CONSTIPATION. CAN THE DOCTOR SUDDENLY REFUSE ME THE PETHIDINE NOW KNOWING MY PROBLEMS? SO WHAT DO I DO FOR THE PAIN?

I ENDED MY DISCUSSION THAT THE DOCTOR STOPPED GIVING ME PETHIDINE INJECTIONS EVEN THOUGH HE SENT ME TO A BACK PECIALIST, BUT GOT NO ANSWERS FROM HIM, SO I TOLD THE DOCTOR I WANT A 2ND OPINION, I SAW A NEUREO SURGENT THIS WEEK AND HE SAYS THEY CAN NOT OPERATE TO REPLACE THE DEGENERATED DISCS AS IT IS TO RISKY AND THEN NOT LONG HE SAYS THE REST OF VERTIBREYS WOULD GO, AND THEN IT IS JUST GOING TO BE ANOTHER OPERATION AND ANOTHER AND IN THE END I WILL END UP IN A WHEEL CHAIR PARALIZED. TOLD MY DOCTOR ALL THIS I HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE PAIN AND HE REFUSES TO GIVE ME PETHIDINE ANY MORE. 3 WEEKS NOW I HAVE HAD NOTHING FOR PAIN JUST HAD TO GO THROUGH IT. THE PAIN IS SO BAD I AM 58 AND I CRY WITH IT. SO I AM STUCK IN BED FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, CANT DO ANYTHING, AND NOTHING FOR THE PAIN. SHOULD I SEE IF THERE IS ANOTHER DOCTOR THAT WILL HELP ME WITH PETHIDINE. I HAVNT BEEN USING PETHIDINE BY CHOICE BUT BECAUSE I CANT USE ANYTING ELSE BECAUSE OF MY HALF COLON WHICH I CANTAFFORD TO LOOSE . I DONT THINK ITS FAIR ON ME THAT HE WONT GIVE ME PETHIDINE DOESNT CARE ABOUT THE PAIN I HAVE TO GO THROUGH EVERY DAY.
