I am a veteran and I have a doctor to the choice program who is private primary care provider through the choice program. I have severe stenosis of the neck back lower back you name it and I ve had it for years. I was on the first couple three years and I couldn t read a map anymore and I went to Vicodin number 5 4 Pi 3 years I took myself off and the doctor at the VA end of my prescription. The stenosis in my neck has been progressing right now killing my right shoulder and right arm as it did my left arm and I have neuropathy it is also progressed down into my legs my feet I get weak I am weak and excruciating pain. My doctor will not prescribe me oxycodone. I m on muscle relaxers some kind of other nerve pills and Wednesday night I was in the emergency room for pain. They shot me up with prednisone give me a couple pills prescriptions prednisone 2 a day for seven days and dazza Pam 5 milligram 3 a day for 3 days. I m trying to figure out what the hell I m going to be able to do where I m going to end up I m only 62 years old I think my condition comes from trauma when I was in the military I had a horrible car accident
