Julz,

I do have to say what an awesome person you are, alot of people wouldn't put up with it.

I hope in time he will listen to you maybe get on here for some support.

I disagree with the Dr. big time about the pain meds..there are alot of in betweens with the codene and the morphine.

There are Tylenol-3's, Tramadol, Oxycontins, Nurontin..help me out guys there are so many more Fentanyl Patches, Lidocane Patches, steroid shots.

I think first thing is he needs to find a Dr. that will be an advocate for him and work with him. He also needs a psych Dr. he needs to be on depression meds and there is nothing wrong with that..I am on Cymbalta, Clonazepam & Gabitril alot of times it take a combo or a cocktail and it usually takes time tryng to figure out what will help and the dosage.

Im so glad you found us, stick around for support, hopefully you can convince him to get on here also.

Good luck!

Lisa
