Hi there, unfortunately, it looks like doctor shopping (not saying that is the case and not judging you) but with the way things are now and all of the media hysteria, your doctor has to cover himself. When you see him, explain whats going on, maybe offer to sign a pain contract (if you haven't already) or maybe refer you to a pain management doctor. Good luck and let us know how it goes. Hang in there OK.
