I had my urodynamics study done Tuesday. This was the second visit with my new Uro. (Dr. ***). After the study was complete we talked about how my current treatment is/is not working. I am taking Flomax, Zanaflex, Elmiron, Lortab 7.5, and doing PT for pelvic floor. I haven't seen much improvement, but I expect it will take time. I told her that I was out of Lortab, she had written me for 60 on April 10th. She kind of sighed and said, "we don't do alot of pain managment here, if you need a refferal to a pain managment clinic, we can do that" She also made some comment about other ways to deal with pain.
I wish I didn't have to take medication. I do every thing in my power to reduce my pain. It is necessary sometimes, as most of you know.
I have read from many people on the board that Dr. *** was great at pain mgmnt. Don't get me wrong, she is hands down, the best Dr. I've ever seen. I am wondering if it has to do with where she is currently practcing medicine. (university hospital) Perhaps she has to adhere to their treatment modules.
Like the title of this message, I take things too personally. For some reason it upsets me. I've read several threads on this board about pain clinics. Some of it sounds good, some not so good. Thoughts?
