re: how to talk to a doctor about back pain.

Quoting Tiger Lily ♥:" Maybe it's just me, but every doctor I know shells out pills. I've never left the ER without a prescription ... [snip!] ... could give you a more permanent pain relief. Unless he/she is against giving pain relievers. But I see what you're saying."

and wait a second. was her lupus that serious? like, was she on hospice? or did they really mess up and overdose her to point of killing her?

She had severe lupus, but she could have lived years with it. Instead of trying to give her therapy and help her manage her pain, her doctor just prescribed her everything under the sun...So, of course, she became addicted. Morphine, oxycontin, roxycodone 30, xanax, and more. They just kept going on and on and on and on with the pain pills. One night, she went to sleep and just didn't wake up the next morning.
