[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 377589, member: 3184"] Star, trust me I have been there done that with husband also. The last time went into the ER for pain control? They finally put in an IV as they had done so many IM shots. Must have been 5 or 6 and it barely touched him. Plus then they gave him a couple toradol shots, same with robaxin and phenergan. My husband's problem is the exact opposite of your df's. He is a clean cut cowboy looking guy. He does not look like he is in pain, and he was raised to never admit to pain, to block it out. Not working anymore. Due to husband's appearance, I don't think the doctor's were taking his pain seriously (except for psychiatrist) and were undermedicating him. When we would call and tell the pain doctor his pain was worse, he told husband to take tylenol. Sure, might as well swallow a tic tac, it would do the same thing. If they had medicated him correctly, I don't know if we would have ever been in this place. However, husband on suboxone is much better than how he was on tons of opiates and street drugs. He is nice, he has not been nice in months. He is saying please and thank you again, we have spent more time as a family and enjoyed each other's company in the last 3 days than we have in the last 3 months. He is more relaxed, more laid back. I am a little concerned about next week and the future, husband does better when people are around, and school starts on Tuesday and I have to go back to work then. He has an appointment Tuesday for out patient drug rehab. so hopefully that will keep him busy, as well as appts with chronic pain therapist and substance abuse therapist. It will be what it will be, and only time will tell. I did not realize how much I missed him, the real him. [/QUOTE]
