Medicare has its own situation. Hopefully, you'll be established with an M.D. that also accepts Medicare..by the time you are on Medicare. With the guidelines and new stresses of Medicare, many docs don't want to take on new Medicare patient, but continue seeing patients they have seen for years, that become Medicare.
If one doc in a town is bad, it doesn't mean, ALL docs are bad. Like any field, you have to search for the right one.
Tudo; It sounds like your pills are taking over your body and its functions. Often when that happens, addiction is a worry and the pills can beget more pain; whether real or imagined, it is real pain, regardless. With the utmost respect I suggest you figure out a way to take a holiday from those pills and find a great strain of medicinal marijuana to medicate with instead. More pain pills and your body is going to shut down and die a slow death. Find a good couchlock blend and start slowly cutting down on the pills...seriously. I say this with concern and kindness.
I know people say medicinal marijuana does not help their pain, but the truth is, if used like a medication and properly..it does help for pain..I know! Find yourself a good couchlock strain and an oil you make yourself or from a good friend. The oil doesn't work for pain, until you've been on it for awhile, even a few months(all the while increasing the dose)...one day, you'll wake up..pain free, I did.
Maybe you need to bite the bullet and listen to the wife for a change!!!
Move to Cali asap and get the natural medicine you need, forever! The area you are looking in, you can grow outside in a greenhouse...and enough to help you! The money you'll save in buying your meds, may well lead you toward retirement and not so much stress in your life. Working and stress can play havoc on pain.
Try some real Headband for pain. See if you can use that instead of the entire dose of the pills you are on. Many here quit large doses of opiates, benzo's..etc by using mmj; bite the bullet, listen to your wife and move! Then you'll be able to medicate organically and maybe, even doing that safely will help alleviate some of your painful stress. jpt
