I was wondering how you were doing.
It's been my experience that meds when taken as prescribed and for relieving pain they don't make one high. They deal with the pain receptors only.
Several years ago I was prescribed certain medications after a very, very serious emergency life saving surgery. At the time, I had not drank for several years and was throwing a fit about taking the drugs for fear I would get addicted. The doctor, bless his heart, brought in a specialist in pain management who explained to me the difference between addiction and dependence. I would become dependent on certain medications, yes, and I would have to be tapered down, yes, but I absolutely must take them in order to heal, in order to have any quality of life.
Anyway, I'm probably not making much sense but thing is, I did heal, they did taper me down and I don't ever remember feeling high.
I really think it's time for you to re-visit your doctor. It makes no sense to me they would make your appointment with a pain management specialist so far out when you are in so much pain.
