PCP & Pain Mgmt. & meds.

Well, I am waiting for pre-certification with my insurance company for surgery . I have time, even though I am in pain, I cannot have surgery this year due to Chris not having any vacation days left. I am trying for the beginning of Jan. I am on Vicodin and Lyrica and I have to call every 10 days to ask for a refill of my Vicodin. My PCP has decided to cut me off, he says that he doesn't do long term pain management. So, as of right now I have 3 days left of my pain meds. I have a call into my neurosurgeons office to see if they wrote my PCP a letter explaining that I need this medicine until my surgery date. If not, I am changing PCP's. My PCP doesn't even believe these cysts cause pain. He also is not happy that I went to my own neuro. instead of the orginal one he sent me to. I have prayed and I know that what I am doing/where I am going for this surgery is the right thing to do.
