    Do you also bring in Vicodin prescriptions from 7 other doctors and refill them all at the same time?

      Hell no. I have a low dosage script, doc monitors closely and I don’t abuse. I don’t WANT to take pain meds regularly, but I must sleep, so I take my small dosage 3-4 times a week at bedtime. Then I sleep with less pain, not zero pain. But because it’s ongoing for years, occasionally I end up on some pharmacist radar. Last time I had to pay out of pocket, they said insurance wouldn’t cover this time.

        Oh man that’s terrible all around. Sorry to hear/read you are going through that Izzgo! A friend of mine had some kind of nerve searing procedure that helped with that kind of pain, any options in that space?

          Nerve searing, never heard of that! I may have to look into it, thanks for the info :)

          edit Ahhhh Google tells me it’s called nerve ablation, sounds interesting. Much appreciate the info.
