I am not addicted to pain meds, but I need to find a pain doctor in my area. It appears, most physicians do not want to prescribe pain meds, because of the individuals that abuse the system. Those of us that have 7 and 8 mm disc herniations and numbness in their spinal cord can't get help. I have recent tests to confirm my diagnosis, but have no health insurance any longer. I can not afford to keep wasting money on doctors that are afraid to treat their patients.
