[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 209138, member: 1991"] husband & I are both under the care of a pain management specialist. He practices out of a palliative care clinic so we share the waiting room often with terminal cancer patients, but I'm used to that now. A good pain specialist should look at all methods of pain management, including non-drug options. It was a pain clinic that got me onto trying TENS. I didn't have to sign a contract about my medications, but our system is set up so if I began shopping around to get more medications, it would soon catch up to me and it would show up on the national database. If I lose my medications while on holiday, for example, I can get a few days' supply but no more. It would be enough to get back to my doctor and sort out the problem. And losing my medications too often would also raise eyebrows. A pain specialist should also be able to take past allergy problems into account and find ways around problems as well as be the first one to try new pain managements. Don't be scared of it, Heather. Nobody can force you to do something you don't want. And who knows? He might be able to help! Marg [/QUOTE]
