IS there anyone in the atlanta area, specifically north of atlanta in cumming, near alpharetta, who knows of a good pain management clinic who is not scared out of their mind to prescribe medicine. I broke 3 vertabrea almost 3 years ago and ruptured a disc. My records say i have something called sponylosis, degen disc disease, bulging disc, and arthritis forming around the injury. I am only 25 years old, and I was on methadone for the pain, and it was a life changer from the previous short acting percocets. I'd rather not be on methadone because of the long half life and recently moved to atl area and my new pain dr is not high on prescriptions. He wants to do all kinds of injections that have never helped in the past. are there some kind of new injections that he wants to do that may help or what? He gave me something called nucynta and that was crap. Im just not impressed with this dr. He has not done a single examination on me. hasnt tested anything what so ever. really has not even look me in the eyes. might not even know my name.. im just tired of drs being scared of the govnt and not prescribing. they need to be more personable and realize every patient is diff and responds differently to treatment.. So if anyone in my area has had success with drs please please help....
