He was not absolutely clear last week, but it *sounded* like

it is not more serious than this. One thing that concerned us
was that he said he had not eaten anything for several days.
Let's keep him in our thoughts.

I think he's kicking either Vicodin or Oxycontin.

Now you're concerning me. Oxycontin depresses the central nervous
system, you go to sleep...and you may never wake up. A very
treacherous drug.



He's got some extreme back pain. That alone can be debilitating.

If that's the case, he needs to go to Pain Management and get an
epidural corticosteroid injection.

If chronic pain, have you gone to a clinic that specializes in that
(versus just going in to the ER)?

Yes, I have gone to a clinic. Good results there until recently, but
that may be due to miscommunication on my part (I'm not perfect, nor

He WAS going to a pain management clinic. Sometimes, they make you sign
a contract not to use any other meds. I'm strictly reading between
the lines here, but it almost sounds like the pain clinic dumped him for
violating the contract...??? (just a guess)
