Published March 28, 2014

Question by wouldnt u like 2 know: question about my doctor and pain specialists? [rewrite]I have been with the same doctor for over a year now, I started going to her because my back has hurt me for several years. about 4 months into seeing her she started prescribing me pain medications. I had to go get X-rays, MRI’s, Cat scans and even a myleogram. she had referred me to a neurosurgeon because I have a herniated disc that is pressing on a nerve in my back, causing severe pain in my lower back & down into my legs. the neruosurgeon said there is nothing that can be done with surgery because its not severe enough. now my doctor wants to take me off my pain medication and refer me to a pain specialist.

Question by Joe: Possible for ex drug addict to get adderall for ADHD treatment? [rewrite]So my entire life ive been from one ADD drug to the next. Ritalin, concerta, and focalin do nothing but make me go crazy so those types of drugs are out. I am currently on wellbutrin which isnt doing anything for my attention at all, just makes me smile a little more. Dexedrine made me feel nothing and Strattera just dosent work. Basically the one drug that did ANY good for me was Adderall and i screwed up by taking a months prescription in a day (didnt go to an emergency room, was totally fine no seizures my pdoc only knows about this event because i told him). I am an ex cocaine addict (before the adderall) and used to drink something close to 7-10 cups of coffee a day before ANY of these things so now that im trying to get my life in order adderall would appear to be my one option for success. The issue’s are: 1) well obviously i have a history of abuse, thats not good and, 2) I have an E ...

I have chronic back pain and pain from endometriosis. I’ve been in pain for so long and have so many symptoms. I don’t know how to word everything and not leave anything out.
