    Help
    I've been taking pain killers for 3 years for my knee I'm 22 yrs old. Every day! This month I don't have money to see my doctor and the past few days I've been sick and it's because I don't have any more meds! What do I do?

    Three years of painkillers isn't a good thing. Why haven't you dealt with the knee problem and gotten it fixed?

    Have you called your doctor?

    Because they cut my insurance off when I turn 21 and when I had a primary doctor he sent me to a pain management and ever since then I've been paying cash every month to see him and all he will do is give me my meds! So at the moment I don't have a primary. Just a pain doctor.. They never finger out what was wrong with it!

    Pain management classes and pain meds do not coordinate. What did you learn in pain management?

    Do you live at home with parents?

    Who cut off your insurance?

    I went to pain management the 1st time and all he did was prescribe medication! The state cut me off because I guess once your 21 they deny it unless you have kids! But I don't..

    Pain management is not prescribing medication. I'd love to know where this was.

    Do you live at home with parents? >I see your answer, posted when I asked again.<

    You can to go an ER and get help.

    I'm not saying you are lying. I'm saying pain management is training a person how to handle pain with minimal or no drugs.

    Yes, ERs help people with no insurance That's Medicaid. My library homeless guy went to a local ER when he got sick with cellulitis or a fungal infection or bronchitis. He was often admitted and treated like a real person.

    They triage the patients -- worst taken first and least serious have to wait maybe even a few hours, depending on how busy they are.
