I have heard of the horror stories in the USA , I reside in Canada and went through hell these past several months. not sure why I stuck around but ... well, its over for now.
I was referred to a rheumatologist from my family doc after my pain was worse than he felt comfy treating and ended up in a pain clinic that is dead set on treating chronic pain patients with methadone / suboxone and not much else. Here and there they rx patches.
To make a long and sickening story short as possible I was place din the hands of a fellow pain doc who has limited experience with people like me.
They were so paranoid about (this doc) about rx'ing opiates that I was dispensed oxy weekly - whereas it was monthly always- and then they tried to strong arm me into either methadone / suboxone and even though I specifically explained why not to do this they still tried.
To save us all time HERE I have researched all of the + / - 's of both and can only say that the criminal element is causing severe problems for people who legitimately need pain relief and have tried everything and have come to the concl that this stuff works.
I can go on for another huge essay here and will refrain from doing as my hands are hurting. Any Q's? aks me ?
