Pain Diary

21tomlinson, hang in there. I know you’re having a tough time right now. If your pain right now is severe and causing serious despair, you should go to the ER – they can help and offer immediate support.

Maybe today you can leave a voicemail at some of the office clinics of the providers offered here. Otherwise maybe call them first thing tomorrow morning and arrange an appointment for ASAP.

I would highly encourage you to go to a new pain management specialist if the current treatment protocol is not working. There are many things to try to manage pain and to help. To me it sounds very clear that your current provider is not understanding the severity of your condition, and to me that says you need to find someone who does understand and is willing to try new things.

Don’t give up, don’t feel hopeless, you can fight through this. Keep trying things until you find something that helps.
