HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted April 13, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted April 13, 2010 My private pain doctor I used to see got upset when he found I was getting oxycodone from the VA. He would only prescribe vicodin. Like you can't become a vicodin addict? You know people get operations and they go through hell and still have pain. I find chronic pain to be the most undertreated illness I know about. If you have DMII the doctors don't holler about drug addiction. There seem to be two kinds of pain doctors: 1. This doctor thinks all patients are after drugs and any request for increase is drug seeking behavior 2. This doctor sells this prescriptions for cash only out the back door of his "clinic". I want to get off these opiates since I hate having my chain pulled by these doctors. Unfortunately I have not found a good alternative. The pain doctor I see at the VA now is useless. Florida is a hell of a state to need pain meds. The private doctors are scared to death of the DEA and the VA believes every vet is a drug addict.
