Is It Common For Chronic Pain Sufferers To Have Other Chronic Conditions?
CMS, the Centers for Medicare, encourage physicians to manage multiple chronic conditions under a Value-Based Care plan that pays them extra to "optimize care delivery" like setting goals and tracking them on an Individualized Care Plan.

I'm Already Taking 300 Mg Of Lyrica A Day Plus 2 Mg Klonopin At Night For Restless Leg. Still Interrupted Sleep, What More Can A Person Do?

Contracts
Did anyone else have to sign a contract with their Dr.? I had to sign a promise that I would not accept any controlled substance from any other Dr. Or his service will be terminated.
When I was taken to the ER with a fractured clavicle I had no idea what they were giving me in the IV. I FOUND OUT LATER.
I found out from my family Dr. That CBD drops will affect your urine test and will show up. BE FOREWARNED.
I signed a pain contract with my pain management doctor that basically said the same thing, but I would think they would make an exception if you had no idea what they were giving you or you weren’t… read more
