[QUOTE="Stella Johnson, post: 230120, member: 9"] What is the pain from? I have RSD/CRPS II. I'm on oxycontin and have been for a few months. I see a pain mgmt doctor. She has been wonderful. I have other things like a cream I got from a compounding pharmacy. It has ketamine, lidocaine, chlonodine, and gabapentin in it. Works great on my hand. RSD/CRPS causes constant excruciating, burning pain in my hand up to my elbow because of the ulnar nerve injury when I accidentally stabbed myself with a steak knife over the summer. The surgeon didn't do surgery for a week after the accident. Didn't want to ruin his Sunday. So now I'm stuck with this for life. A pain mgmt doctor will have many more options. Depending on the diagnosis, they are more likely to give you narcotics if it is warranted. I have learned something since the injury. I was terrified of becoming an addict. I'm on some very strong stuff. There is a difference between dependance and addiction. I have no doubt I'm dependant. Your body can become dependant on anything you take for a length of time. Without the narcotic I wouldn't be able to work. I couldn't keep my house and we would be on welfare. I function perfectly fine on them. I have never been high since taking them. When you are genuinely in pain you don't get high on narcotics. I don't crave the drug. I'm a smoker so I know what it's like to be addicted and crave something. I'm not like this with oxycontin. And I would never consider knocking off a 7-11 for drugs.:happy: the pain management doctor sounds like a good idea. If this one takes too long I suggest you find another one. Steph [/QUOTE]
