Don't blame Dr.: Don't jump to that conclusion. It may be choice of words for the concern that you will end up w/ more problems than you start w/. Often pain meds work less well soon and being addictive, you have the pain and an addiction. Pain mgmt needs to include real correction if possible, learning how to cope and distract, improving strength to relieve the burden, each case is unique.
