Just got off of the phone with the nurse. She said the doc said to up the Neurontin and that should help with the pain. Okay, I'll up the freakin Neurontin - you betcha! But it isn't freakin helping and if I don't get some relief soon - I'm gonna flip out. I'm passed the point of being desperate, now I'm just super pissed!!! By the time I got off of the phone I was so mad I was in tears, ready to lose it!
I could be wrong, but I was told that Neurontin is supposed to be a preventative, not a pain med. If it is for pain - it is the weakest shit I've ever taken in my whole life.
I'm sorry - I have to vent, otherwise I'll explode!!! I have never been so enangered in my entire life. I cannot take the pain much longer, and it seems like the doctors could care less. I have been through SIX DOCTORS and none of them seem to have a freakin clue, and this one is supposed to be a specialist! Where do I go from here? Insane? Perhaps I am already there.
I told them I have nothing to deal with the pain. Stadol, Ultram, Vicodin - I would give my left nut for one of the three right now. Sure, they don't stop the pain, but at least it takes some of the edge off. Right now I am dealing with PURE F#@KING PAIN AND I CAN'T STAND IT ANY LONGER.
Sorry to go off, but i have had it with this mess.
