How Can I Get A Pain Doctor Who Will Treat Symptoms Of Fibro

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

Here in Ohio it is so hard to find a good pain doctor! The medicines that work for me are drugs that doctors are not going to prescribe because both of them are controlled substances. I have had many doctors call me a drug addict because i have to use what they consider drugs of addiction

I was constantly called a drug addict. I said I might be drug dependent like people with coffee Iā€™m not an addict. These conversation consumed my time at pain clinics I was never offered help.

My PCP sent me to my pain clinic. I'm in the US. In Jersey.
Although not for fibro.
But a good place to start.

My rheumatologist probably would've sent me to one if not. And/or the ER doc I saw with all the pain that got me sent to my Rhum which resulted in my fibro but definitely have been accused of drug seeking many times in my many health problems.

Maybe even an urgent care doc can recommend it.

With fibromyalgia, since it's not much known, they sometimes like to pass the buck to a different doc

You could also look up pain clinics in your area and ask one of your docs. There are pain clinics who recognize it.

I heard that when people go to a pain management. Other doctors consider them an addict and will not give them any meds. I've heard that even when those people go to the ER they are given nothing for pain
