So what advice can you give a pain patient that's been cut off and now cannot work or function at home? I'm scared of directly asking, but have let my Dr know of the life limitations and they have been less than helpful. I would prefer to be on a medication that I would be dependent on and able to work than to live a very closed off and painful life. I'm falling into deep depression because of the pain itself, losing my ability to do the work I love and not being there for my family. I just feel like a burden. I have asked for antidepressant and a referral to psych to help with that aspect.

Yes, kratom had been keeping me going. Due to bad planning on my part I ran out and am still waiting for shipment. I'm a vet tech in a non legal state, so I won't risk my career on a hot urine test for thc. I have access to surgical drugs, so I can't come back positive for illegal substances.

And I'm very worried about a pysch diagnosis just for all the reasons you've listed. It would just be another road block to be taken seriously in the future.

I still have my job as of now, they have been very kind in working with me and I'm on an extended medical leave. I pray that they will continue to be patient.
