Chronic Pain
"Complicated history; 2 different genetic mutations causing multiple disorders, polyarticular gout, pseudogout with calcium crystals in all joints, 3 level neck fusion, 4 back surgeries. The last lumbar surgery caused a blood clot in the spine; loss of bowel and bladder control, severe arthritis with damaged joints, Paget&#039;s disease of the bone, etc. Been on MS ER since the 4th failed surgery but had to change doctors. The new Doc put me on Embeda and it is awful. Headache within the hour, withdrawal symptoms within 3-4 hours, sweating and leg cramps, nausea, constipation but worse of all no pain relief. After being on a regimen that worked since 2003, with the flap about abuse doctors are afraid of Morphine."
