Continuing the discussion from Reforming Restrictions on Pain Management and Ending the Harmful Stigma Against Pain Patients:

Cord compression in every vertebra of my cervical. Missing disc at T11/T12. Cord compression every vertebra of my sacrum. I also am rare that I have an extra vertebra in my sacral area. Multiple lesions in my brain with Hx of falls, confusion and memory loss. Hx of EBV with 7 day hospital stay and a flare up in my 30’s. My pain started in my 30’s. I am on 10/325mg hydrocodone/acetaminophen 3x a day. They started decreasing my meds. I never ask for stronger meds because these allow me to do activities of daily living. I am 54 now and I am on disability. My pain is worse with activity. I can not do simple things like laundry, grocery shopping etc without pain management. Stop treating me like a drug addict. Allow our Dr.'s to make the informed decisions as to whether or not we are justified for needing pain management.
