opioids are not the answer. First determining root of pain and a multi modal treatment plan formulated by a board-certified pain doctor.
There are more questions than answers here. "Chronic pain" where? What part of the body? What is the diagnosis? Any prior studies of the spine? Have any prior surgeries? History of opioid use? History of disability claims made? There is so much to know besides the fact that your primary care doctor does not wish to use opioids. Nobody in this day and age is keen on using opioids for a pain issue now 25 years old, by the way. My recommendation? Do a Google search for reputable pain doctors within a 5-mile radius of your home, and start the investigation process of interviewing potential people who may be able to help you. Good luck!!!
Hello, It all depends if your problem needs opioid medications. some problems can be helped without medications also.
