First of all, patients seeking treatment from the medical community are treated with a stigma that's associated with chronic pain treatment. This is due for a variety of reasons. Some reasons is physicians are afraid of new government regulations, addiction, diversion, and just the lack of

knowledge when it comes to treating chronic pain.

Its a sad fact, that chronic pain is grossly undertreated by healthcare professionals. Too many Americans are needlessly & silently suffering from chronic pain. It also appears that doctors are hesitant about what types of treatment is best for people that suffer from constant daily pain.

As in my case, my doctor told me that he recommended surgery. After several second opinions, after talking to people that have already had surgery, going under the surgeons knife didn't seem like a viable option.

With failed back surgery very common, and follow up surgery needed from damage or complications due to the initial surgery, and the possibility of permanent nerve damage and paralysis, again surgery didn't seem worth the risk. I would still be in pain, with the pain then being greater. But it seems physicians try to pressure you into surgery so they can justify prescribing long term narcotic drug therapy.

After trying physical therapy, biofeedback tactics, countless steroid injections, anti-inflammatory, to several different over the counter medicines with no great results, I felt helpless. Luckily, finally I found the help needed to address my pain, and am now on a responsible drug therapy program. I no longer feel like a drug addict, or not being believed, trying to obtain the proper pain medication needed to treat my pain. But after years of enduring chronic pain, I know there's millions of Americans just like I was, silently & needlessly suffering in pain, even as you read this article.

Chronic pain sufferers are discriminated against tremendously. I think if someone has tried everything to treat their pain, they should be entitled to the proper pain medication to eleviate their pain for a more productive and better quality of life. I am committed to doing whatever I can to help other people that are hurting needlessly in pain. For information in addressing your chronic pain, go to: www.rxscripts4u.com
