Pain docs think that just about all patients are dope addicts

Too much risk and not enough reward

Sucks for people with real issues

It sucks that people who actually need pain meds can’t get them, because of bad people who abuse them to get high

Yep. My cousin has fibromyalgia and if he doesn't get his medicine for it it's almost like the flu. Soreness, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, the whole works. It really is a terrible disease

Yep. In addition to medication, a true pain management clinic should be comprehensive. At a minimum it should include other pain reduction measures such as biofeedback training. The vast vast majority simply push pills for pain. With that being said, most patients only want medicine and are unwilling to try alternative methods, such as biofeedback, even as an adjunctive treatment.
