Any Decent Pain Groups?

Nope, not trying to ask a loaded question; thought it might be a bit blunt if I asked if your doctor thought you were an addict. Hard to get an idea since I don't know you or your situation well. I know folks who howl about their pain (granted it's probably not like yours) and will rarely get anything for it. If I was trying to say anything it's that there are a lot of people in pain who don't have access to what would help them.

Opiates are often prescribed because they alter the way your mind percieves pain. Your reaction to them explains why the solution is not as simple as getting you more morphine or oxy.

Nurses may be of good help to you. They often see a lot of people in pain and you're far from the only one who has a negative reaction to opiates.

Hope that helps. Medical problems can be extremely frustrating I know.
