Sounds to me , the treatment for true pain patients will go back to the stone age. I m in a wheelchair, have a spinal cord injury, & Ehlers Danlos, That has left me with 40 years of more than 15 surgeries and a life of horrible nerve pain . Like hot ants biting me from my toes to mid back, and a knife stabbing me every time I move. with a life of  one medicine or another. now have a intrathecal pain pump. have also tried therapy, and ways of relaxing. but its pain patients rights, to medicine and doses over that of 4 ibuprofen that keep taking a hit.
