My name is Christine. I been going to a Va.Beach pain management doctor for 3 years or more. About 5 months ago I had an regular follow up appointment with her without any urine requested from me on this day. The same week I got a phone call that she could no longer see me because the last 2 times one of the medications was not in my system. My urine has not been taken within the last 3 months prior to this appointment. On several appointments I had mentioned that these medications were not helping my chronic pain. I got no response from the doctor or the nurse. And I never got a letter in the mail about me being discharged, So now I am suffering and desperate for relief and comfort. I had only ran out about 5 days early on my medications. But never no urine taken in the streets or by anyone else being truthful. My Chronic pain by itself causes me depression and feel the medical system failed me. so what am I suppose to do if another pain management will not take me ?
Hello, As a first line management you can take analgesics like paracetamol or diclofenac for pain relief.  If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
