I had my second surgery about 5 weeks ago. My first surgery I had my colon removed, my most recent I had my rectum removed along with my joking created. My takedown surgery will be at the end of February or early march. My Surgeon told me my due to regulations from DEA and what not he will have to cut me off. I'm still in pain, stitches steal pussing and healing, can't really drive etc. I have had family members mention going to a pain clinic as many people do when there surgerons can no longer prescribe pain meds. I don't see the whole point in stopping the pain meds if I'll be right back on them within a month? Does anyone have experience with a pain clinic ? Like what info I would have to show or tell them what documents I may need etc. I'm going to tell my surgeon I'd prefer to not go to a pain clinic but if that is my only choice I will have too. Please provide any information about a pain clinic and how it works. I don't need to be lectured about my pain or surgery I know I should feel better but since my last surgery I spent 3 weeks in the hospital, so I had complications. Thank you!
