Hello
This is my first post so here goes....
I would like to say that after joining last week and reading lots of threads and forums I think this place is great! My biggest rant is about the new generation of physicians who are younger than my husband and myself. I think when they took the hyppocratic oath they forgot about chronic pain suffering patients like my husband. I hope when they're in their 60s and older they don't have a Dr who tells them to sit and deal with it and we won't continue to prescribe pain meds because they aren't helping you. ( who cares if you have a growing cyst in your knee and can barely walk now ) we are cutting you off pain meds and no surgery either because it won't help after three years. Seriously? Talk about doing no harm. Just take two aspirin and don't call us in the morning. If I added an icon for this forum and group it would be hopeful as I'm sure other people are going through the same thing.
