I had serious issues with my pain management specialist. It was through the VA, so no big surprises there...
Im honest with my doctors about smoking pot, and they've toldme they'd rather me do that than take pills
the pain management jerk threatened to take all my meds away, ALL of them, even my antacids. I told him suck a cock and spoke with my main doc. They wanted to put me on morphine anyway, and I am not ready to go there, if need be I'll make some opium for next year. That's if I can't find a good painkilling strain that I won't build tolerance to too quickly.
Sorry for the rant, just beware of pain specialists, especially if its service connected. Jackass threatened to take my disability check too!
