Had enough of NC doctors trying procedures on me that are extremely painful with no results. So my family decided it was time to see the best in the country:
http://www.mayoclinic.org/pain-rehabilitation-center-rst/
It's going to cost a pretty penny and I'll be there for 3 weeks (hope my family will let me rent a car). I can't get in until February we found out, so I should see as much snow in 3 weeks as I have in my whole life.

No matter what you got, Robitussin better handle it. ''Daddy, l got chronic pain all over my body.'' ''Robitussin.'' ''Yeah, boy, let that 'tussin get in there." ''Yeah, boy, let that 'tussin get on down to the bone."

actually one of the major points of the Mayo Clinic is to get off of meds
Quote : | "The PRC carefully measures program results. More than 85 percent of patients complete the three-week program. Among patients who finish this program, nearly 84 percent report greater control over pain, 70 percent note a decrease in pain severity (despite discontinuing pain medications during treatment), aerobic activity levels increase in nearly 93 percent, and more than 80 percent report a decrease in depressive symptoms." |

while true...though, i doubt thats their goal. i dated a girl that i felt was becoming a junkie. actually she was already a junkie and couldnt admit it. i hope she was able to get off taking 15-20 pills a day.8/26/2010 10:03:54 AM |

Good luck, dude!
I really hope you get some relief and maybe discover how to manage your pain in a way that works for you.
Cause, man, oh, man, the people who don't find a way to appropriately manage it are really, really annoying. 8/26/2010 12:58:30 PM |
