I started having neck and back pain and was diagnosed with a mild scoliosis at about 12 years of age. It worsened into degenerative disc disease, arthritis and osteopenia.  I was prescribed Tylenol 3 at a very young age and had to have stronger and stronger doses to alleviate the pain through the years. About 10 years ago, my insurance stopped paying for OxyContin, so my PCP changed me over to morphine.  Now, at the age of 64, I have spent my entire adult life taking narcotic pain meds on a daily basis. At 100mg morphine TID (time released) with 30mg TID for breakthrough pain (Immediate release), I can no longer get any stronger dosage.  Now, my insurance has changed and I am being forced to change PCP’s to a new doctor. I’m terrified they will simply cut me off of all pain meds (as that is what has happened in the past) and I can’t go through the withdrawals plus not having any relief from the pain that will overcome me.   Can you help?
