I'm at work lying on the floor because the work I was supposed to do is inaccessible right now. I'm also laying on the floor because I have a pinched nerve and it freaking hurts. I've gained 8 pounds in 8 days because I can't exercise and I have to eat every 6 hours because of the pain pill. I went back to the doctor and asked him what I should be

I don't understand why pain management is such a low priority for so many doctors. I got a milder version of the same treatement when I went in this week. They told me that everything I was experiencing, including continued pain, was totally normal, no worries. I asked for more motrin and vicodin, since my previous prescriptions had only been for a week and I was almost out, he gave me a bit of a hard time about it ("don't get hooked on that now", that kind of thing.) I had to ASK for the prescriptions to be reissued too, they didn't offer. I'm thinking, you just SAID that PAIN at this point is NORMAL, so why isn't PAIN RELIEF at this point NORMAL AS WELL???
