I have had a fusion of L4-L5 for degenerative Arthritis with spinal stenosis. I have been on and off various pain meds last 8-10 yrs. I was on 45 mg of Morphine Er 3x's/day, which was becoming less effective. Pain clinic put me on Opans ER 20mg/2x day with 10 mg Percocets 2x's a day, throwing in Gabapentin for nerve pain.. I am in the worst pain EVER!!! This stuff is not working. I have tried telling the clinic only to be made to feel like a drug addict. These past 3 months have een the most miserable of my life. How do I get the clinic to realize this is about wanting to have some semblance of a life with minimal pain. I am not abusing my meds nor do I get "HIGH" off them as I have such a high tolerance. Any suggestions on how to talk to my doc to get him to listen. Thanks to those who use and abuse recreationally, you are making it impossible for those of us who are in true need of relief. I just want to be able to walk, stand or sit more than 20 minutes without wanting to cry. I feel like my life has been stolen from me and I am a prisoner in my own body. It is a prisoner of HELL. I want to my life back.

P.R.N.: and then Roxicodone 30 mg 3x a day and so on This keeps tolerance down, instead of leaving patient on same medication, Iwas in two serious car accidents in 2000 and by 2007 my gait was impaired and now I have to consider "hip arthoscopic-minamally invasive surgery to repair the acetabulum spot on the socket so I can decrease my pain dosage by60% which is good and I can walk well hopefully. This is my experience with pain relief, and one should have a good neurologist and orthopaedist. Thank-You
