Answers:    *They generally release for non compliance for:

breaking to oodles appointments

get to upset and loosing it in the office next to the doctor
not following directions

urine test came back fruitless meaning you were abusing the meds given you or you be taking some narcotic you did not disclose to the doctor, or illegal drugs.

I am thinking the ER doctor got mean beside your pain doctor. The ER doctor was wrong by the way. There are several reason to prescribe break threw pain meds that simple untrained ER docs are not aware of due to that not being their specialty. I doubt if you will find a pain specialist that will touch you presently. Go back to the ortho. Back surgery's take a year or more to get over. Source(s): nurse

Don't you hold a family doctor? I am sure that you can get referred to a different pain headship doctor but in the meantime call your family doctor and own him/her call in a script for you.

Returning to a doctors' clinic after seeing..

By two months post op you should be having close to no pain. I own done over 12,000 operations over the years and it is for this very reason that I am immensely selective who gets surgery and who doesn't as clearly some people will be made worse by cutting. I own no clue why the initial surgery was done but suspect it was for a disc herniation and the fusion was to try to issue motion and thereby create more stability and less pain.
As for the pain meds.. narcotics certainly make you feel pain alot more since they hijack the body's own endorphins (natural painkillers) and stop its production.
If you want to transport me an email I'd be happy to personally discuss your situation. Source(s): Spine Surgeon

How can I aid the agony surrounded..

Even though the 5 Dilaudid a day be what your pain management doctor was writing, in recent times two months of this can lead to narcotic dependency and addiction. Your pain management doctor is not doing you a favor by giving you these medication.

Find another Pain Management doctor--one that is willing to find other means to make smaller your pain.
Often the pain may be secondary to the surgery and may come from the muscular area.

Try different modalities like: Massage, physical therapy or even find a TENS unit.

Otherwise, you will find yourself addicted to narcotics and unable to get rotten of them. These are strong drugs that change the chemical composition in the brain.

My brother (a well-educated guy) had surgery and he too be prescribed a strong narcotic. 4 months later he was still taking it. Long story short, he nearly lost his job and wound up going to rehab.

Prescription dull pain medication has reached epidemic proportions as abused medications.
Many doctors own become very aware of this. Those who prescribe too much may be under close scrunity.

Do yourself a favor and find a doctor who is able to find to the source of your pain.
