Does anyone know a good pain management doctor? I have a patient with post-polio and a fx tibial plateau 1.5 years ago, and all sorts of other health issues, but have not been able to manage her pain with meds and PT. she is in SEVERE pain ALL of the time and has tried a host of meds that give no relief. I can't accept that she has to be in this much pain for the rest of her life (she is only in her 60s and is the sweetest person you'll ever meet). Help!

The Top 10 "Dont's" for Physical Therapy: PT's read on for a cheesy laugh. Patients, read on for your own good:
1. Never say "I can't" because you'll do it anyway.
2. Never say, "it's easy" because we'll just make it harder
3. Never say, "I want to go home" because you'll stay longer
4. Never lose count because you'll start at one again
5. Never complain because we never listen.
6. Never argue because you'll never win.
7. Never scream or cry because it only encourages us.
8. Never look like you're enjoying it because we'll put a stop to it.
9. Never hold your breath because if you pass out and die, we have to fill out the paperwork.
10 Never lie or cheat because we know the truth and you will live to regret it.
