Hi Lois,
I do understand about relief. as for me and my scrip i only take my
meds when i have to and try to use my splint to help. sometimes the
wrist being stable is really helpful. So far i have had 2 surgeries
and my 3rd is in may. My ortho. dr. is the one who takes care of
mine since i have been under his care. and yes it seems more than
ever the dr.'s are more than ever very careful so that they do not
get ppl addicted to meds. Maybe your dr. just wants to change the
meds around so your body does not get used to one. My GP when i told
him KD did not even know what it was. And i really do not thank he
still does. I do hope all goes well for you. And hope you get some
relief.
