i been having really bad knee problems for almost a year now had surgery and everything and it is actually worse than even i went to my orthopeditic today and he said he is sending me to a pain management doctor what should i expect from him......

What is a Pain Management Doctor?

I have an appointment today with a pain Management doctor because my Spine doctor is not able to find a cause for the back pain I have had for 6 months now.
What should I expect?

Pain Management?

I have 3 herniated disc and was seeing a pain mangement physician for the past several months. In the beginning I signed a contract which states I would only get pain medication from the pain management doctor. He put me on MS Contin. Unfortunately 4 months later I 4got that I signed it & had more then one occasion went to urgent care for what can only be described as break thru pain.They would prescribe Vicodin ES for 20 or so pill. It helped tremendously in between & I was already aware that pain mgmt couldn't adjust the MS Contin.Yesterday when I went to pain mgmt for my monthly script the doctor said they could no longer see me and that the DEA files showed that I had filled 3 or 4 scripts for Vicodin from urgent care. He gave me 1 last prescription. I was and am devasted. I am terrified of the pain to come when those pills r gone & I am terrified that the DEA is black listing me.Will I be able to go to another pain dr. like he suggested or am I in some sort of legal troub?
I haven't slept a wink because I am so worried about the pain to come and if the DEA has me listed as a drug seeker. I am really in severe pain and would never abuse the medication. This is a horrible way to live and I am only 41. What if some how these doctors have some sort of network and there is a alert or something that tells other docs not to treat me? I am so scarred that my asthma is flaring up. This is why those people out there who really abuse the system make it so so hard for us who are really suffering. The doctor I had was very kind and understanding which is another reason why I am so devastated. Even my hands are shaking today just thinking about the immense pain I am going to have to endure eventually. Please someone help and tell me what I should do

Say you see a pain management doctor (in Alabama) and you're legit, not a junkie, and he writes you a Rx for XYZ. Then you go see an urologist and he writes you the same Rx for your kidney stones that your pain management doctor writes. Minus all the insurance stuff, is there an actual way for the pain management doctor to see that your urologist wrote you that same Rx? I don't want to get in trouble here.

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.

My mom goes to pain management so i made an app. with her doctor. What do you think he will do for me when i go? I already want a breast reduction, can he help me find a surgeon?
PS- Back surgery is not an option
