Treatment of Chronic Pain

[Angel M. Garcia, M.D.]

There are 50 Million Americans suffering from chronic daily pain. Most patients would like to have their pain treated without the use of addicting drugs. Most pain management doctors prescribe very addicting narcotics that make it difficult for most patients to function normally and go to work everyday. A small percentage of these patients take their drugs and sell them on the streets. The DEA is on a mission to close down all pain clinics in south Florida which will make it very difficult for chronic pain patients. The last thing that our country needs is an additional 50 Million people looking for government bailouts, ie filing for Social Security Disability benefits. Any comments or your feedback on this national health problem is greatly appreciated.
