Why won’t pain management doctors take on patients who are dissatisfied with their current pain management?

kathy asked:


doctors even though they tell them they are currently seeing one and have a contract with him/her stating that they are not receiving any pain medication from any other doctor?

Has anyone had this experience or knows of someone who has?

Thank you for your answers.

    Because “Doctor shopping” is so prevalent, most Doctors are afraid to take on a patient already under treatment, even if the treatment is not managing your pain. It’s a shame everyone gets treated like an addict because of the knuckleheads, but my wife went through this years ago.
