Can I ask? I have a pain arsenal of vicadins, percocet,morphine and tramadol. None of them work by themselves. My doctor said there was nothing else to give me for pain. He told me to experiment with combinations of what I have and not to exceed 4 grams of actetiphetamine(SP).
Why doesn't this sound like right advice to me? I have become tolerant to these medications while I have severe pain in my mouth, from my gums,my jaw from gritting my teeth, my neck and throat down to my left shoulder. Some pain is constant. I take one morphine 30mg and 2 vicadin 7.5 for breif control of 3-4 hours. Taking less does not carry control over. I have to start again with both morphine and vicodin.
Does any of this sound right. I feel like I am being left on my own to medicate. According to doctor next step is pain management people. I am so tired of pain after 4 months. Any pain sometimes.

They make pain management sound so far out there I am afraid to talk to them, like I should be able to grin and bear it. On the other hand I am told my ENT is one of the best on the planet.
I broke down and made an appointment with an ortho surgeon.... I think that is right to look at my mouth to see what he thinks about my healing issues?

I wonder who should I see? The cancer center in Richmond I would like to see can't get me in until end of December.
It is probably all in my head but I think everything is getting worse.
