I suffer from chronic pain due to an industrial injury. My back and both of my knees were injured. When all of the surgeons said I wasn’t a good candidate for back surgery and both knees had so many surgeries the only thing left was replacement (at my age not an option), I was told I’d have to learn to live with the pain. At their recommendation, I found myself in the care of a pain management clinic. I complied with all of their advice and instruction – for 14 years. I never got better. I got worse. Almost a year ago I found Dr. Schwager, who along with Dr. Sisley saved my life. Come to find out, none of the medications I was taking were helping my pain, molecularly impossible. All I could claim to be was an opioid and benzodiazepine addict with a lot of pain. These two doctors orchestrated my inpatient treatment for cessation of all of the prescription medications. The hospital told me I was within a few months of death. I still see Dr. Schwager twice a month. I see Dr. Sisley once a month. I have never seen doctor’s with so much REAL compassion for their patients. There are no narcotics of any kind in my house or my body now. I am being given medication that is actually designed to help “my” pain and my pain levels are lower than they have been for 15 years. M. B. Arizona |
