Pain Management Needed
UpdatedI am suffering from fibromyalgia, cervical degenerative disk disease, scoliosis, neuralgia, plantar fascia, neuropathy, which is the worst of all the pains. I am unable to work for the first time in my life leaving me to rely on medicaid being I am unmarried. I live in southern western part of Pennsylvania. I am willing to travel for treatment, Pittsburgh is about 1 1/2Hrs away, Butler, 1 Hr 15 minutes, Altoona is about 30 min. away from my home.I am in need of a competent pain management doctor, or physiatrist or internist, willing to do medications. I unfourtunately can not take nuerotin or lyrica as it contains nuerotin (sp?) as I had a severve anaphylactic allergic reaction, I also can not use voltarian cream also containing the same medication. These medications provide relief for some with both neuropathy & fibro limiting me to medications to control the pain. I have flare ups lasting 1 day to the worst 13 days. I lost several immediate family members to cancer, leaving me little support. I have to live alone & I can not perform simple task due to the pain. I am only seeking a quality of life where I can function. I have been homebound all but 4 days in 14 months due to the above medical conditions & I also have severe asthma, congenial hip displasia, anxiety, depression, foot drop, ademia, ankle laxtivity, hypothyriod, just to name some of my conditions.My Drs now belive there is a underlying auto immune disease. PLEASE if you know of a doctor willing to use medications let me know. I am under the care of a incompetent ortho P.M. whom only cares about $, not the health of his patients. He actually slept through my last appt. He never examines me, checks my blood pressure, or performs any physical exams or discusses how my pain level is. He is basically a script writer NOT what I want although I need medication I need a doctor that cares. He is treating me with only break through medications al I.R.s no extended release & despite being diagnosed by 4 Drs since 2010 with neuropathy, plantar fascia, nueralgia, hammer toes, radicular pain, & the degenerative disk & spending two yrs in a full body cast he is only treating me for fibro. I thank anyone whom has advice & God be with all of you suffering from a chronic pain illness.
