[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 571470, member: 84"] Tia, I totally get the ER thing, I'm sure you know I do as I avoid it like the plague. But I think you really need to go and get checked out. Yes, it could be a number of things.......so be stubborn and make them check a number of things. You can always refuse admission if necessary and you can tell them why. They might be able to do whatever they'd do in patient on an outpatient basis if you explain the predicament you're in. You can tell them the pain is severe, it is, tell them you want to find out what is causing this so it can be fixed and the pain is gone. Usually, that is enough to stop the assumption of pain medication seeking. Our ER is one that assumes medication seeking first, then re-evaluates based on behavior ect. I don't like it but I understand why then tend to do that........especially after working it for a while. Usually they can tell someone who is just seeking medications and someone who needs help.
