I'm sorry the both of you are going though this.

If I may, could I throw a few things that may be worth considering?
Please undertand this is said with the utmost caring for a very difficult situation.

Why is this your problem?
And by that I mean why aren't these decisions your husbands, rather than yours?
You can't heal him, so why isn't he looking for the good doctors?

I can only imagine how hard this must be, but you sound as if your plate is already full, dealing with a baby, him and what your future may or may not hold.

Let him do his own searching, whether it be for a new doc, more meds or a nice taste of soul searching. Many many people (including one of my best friends) have to live with cronic pain, and learn to medicate at a safe level, and long term if necessary. While his addiction may make the circumstances different, the pain is not.

Wendy, don't forget about you in all of this...you are important
