[QUOTE="possumholler, post: 442160, member: 12300"] Argh! The back injury is what my mother suffered and has been on pain medications since 2005, but she is considerably older. If you can help it, don't let them recommend a pain management clinic. They are just pumping out addicts all the time. They DO offer steroid injections, spinal nerve blocks and the like which have had some temporary success with my mom. Those back injuries are a Pain Clinic's dream come true. He did it to himself good this time as these injuries are for the most part soft tissue injuries (the vertebral fracture alone affects so many of the nerves in that area that still hurt long after the fracture has healed) and he may be in pretty bad pain for years. At least there is a record of his medication shopping? So they may not even accept him anyway. The contract you sign is VERY stringent and you have to report every prescription you get from anywhere. When we go in there, the doctor has a list from the controlled substance database and checks for my mom's name. I made the mistake of giving her another medication because she ran out of her medication (it was xanax) and they drug tested her and they found that in her system and gave me the biggest blessing out I have ever gotten. Not only do they the in-office drug test, they send part of the sample to a lab. There are some holistic-type places out there that deal with pain without drugs, but he is pretty much in for it now with these back injuries. If only he really knew how debilitating these injuries were in the first place--he will regret this, if indeed he did it on purpose. My heart goes out to you because I have lived with a person with these injuries for several years. The pain really doesn't go away. [/QUOTE]
