My mother was diagnosed with temporal cell arteritis 3 years ago and has been on large doses of steroids for treatment. She now has avascular necrosis of the shoulder and is in extreme pain. She currently takes 2 lortabs and 2 kadien a day for the arteritis and is getting no relief. Surgery doesn't appear to be an option in her current condition. We need some pain relief!

mentally and physically by those who have degenerative cervical/neck vertebrae conditions. I have been told an operation is no guarantee I will be pain free. I had a fusion 3 years ago and really thought that would be the end of my problems. I am anxious to hear from others who are going or have been going, through the same problems.

My friend had a boyfriend 3 years ago. At that time, 3 years ago, her boyfriend had symmetrical joint pain and stiffness and swelling. 3 years later she has reactive arthritis? Is it possible that she may have STD such as Chlamydia? Is it possible that Chlamydia to trigger reactive arthritis 3 years after the infection of chlamydia? CAN Chlamydia infection trigger reactive arthritis 3 years after infection?

I have had a problem with my wrist now off and on for about 3 years. I've been to the drs, have had x-rays and nerve tests. All lead to nothing they say. No fratures, no arthritis, no carpel tunnel, no tedonitis, nothing. I've taken everything for the pain. Nothing has ever worked, not heat, not ice, nothing. I do alot of crocheting so the hand is acting up again, I took Tylenol Arthritis and no pain!!!! So is it possible that I could have Arthritis and not be properly diagnosed? Can it sometimes not be detected?

I am 35 yrs old and 14 yrs ago i dropped 3,000 lbs of steel on my left foot. It crushed the bones in the top of my foot and squished the nerves in my foot also. I guess i'm getting older cause after getting over my injury it didn't bother me but for the past 3 years i have had tremendous pain in that foot. I have a great family doctor who gives me an injection once a month and a prescription for lorcet 7.5....which help when i'm in pain. The only problem is he doesn't give me enough to get through the month. I have discussed this with him and he said he didn't feel comfortable in changing to a higher dose or increasing the amount. I have a new insurance plan and i don't need a referral to go see another doctor. I buy my pain med. at a pharmacy without using my insurance so nobody knows or there is no record of me getting these. What doctor should i see to get something else for pain......a pain management doctor or another family physician. i'm looking for help not just pills.

I have been dealing with Chronic Pelvic Pain with unknown cause for the last 17 years. The last 3 years it has gotten to the point that all I can do is lay in bed with a heating pad. Therefore, I can get some rest. I have a Pain Management Doctor here in Denver Colorado. He is great. We are trying to find a Clinic that can or has the latest technology. Right now, all I do is get pain medications. Can anyone help?

How should I approach a doctor to prescribe me painkillers? I've had chronic pain in my back, hips, knees, and wrists for about 3 years now. In addition I was diagnosed with CMT when I was a child. I've taken just about everything other than narcotics ( pain patches, anti-inflammatory medicine, various high-doses of acetaminophen and ibuprofen, etc etc.) But when I asked my doctor about trying a painkiller, he told me I was just looking to get high, and I have no real business taking them. Now, I can understand that a pain management doctor will see his/her fair share of junkies, but I had been seeing him for months prior to this, and it was the first time I mentioned it. Needless to say I will NOT be seeing that doctor again, but I will still need to address my pain. So, when I do see another doctor, how should I go about getting something that actually works?
