Alan, I'm not sure why things are like they are or how to really answer
your plea. I think we tend to forget that doctors are not gods and even
though they have made some staggering advances in medicine and knowledge of
the human body, what is know on the whole about body function is still not
that great. Why don't you drop your post to the doctors and others over on
Grand Rounds Echo net and see what they have to say?

P.S. Even if they don't neccacarily give you an answer or and adequate one,
at least you will make them aware and they can then think about things.

I don't think Talwin would work for me - even dilaudid has absolutely no
effect. It is the 1990's - time to regenerate the damn spinal cord, I think.

Hi Peter,
Sorry to hear about your pain. Talwin is prescribed in the U.S. It
requires a doctor's prescription. In addition it is a controlled drug
since it has abuse potential. Prescriptions must be renewed every 6
months and refills are limited to 5.
In general, the prescription drug laws are tougher in the US than in
Canada. There are many drugs you can buy over the counter that can't
be bought OTC south of the border.
Doctors here are funny about prescribing painkillers, too. I've seen
docs not give a dying man in great pain morphine, because they were
afraid of the addicting potential. The man would be dead in 48 hours,
and they're worrying about him spending the rest of his 'life'
addicted. Poor perspective.
Have you tried acupuncture and relaxation for the pain?
