Hi, I have a disc-osteophyte complex with for foramina stenosis, the degenerative disc in my cervical spine. My previous doctor had me on hydrocodone 7.5 every 4 hours, so 6 tablets a day. I was sent to a pain specialist and he cut my medicine in half to only 3 tablets a day. I have been waking up in severe pain to where I want to die. So I either had to stay awake with the pain and cry or take another tablet. I took another tablet. This has happened several times this month and now I do not have the 5 tables to take to my appointment in the morning for him to count. I am worried that he will dismiss me from his practice and no longer write meds for my pain. Is it routine for pain drs to dismiss patients for running out early? How can I talk to him without him treating me like a drug addict?

Your future management depends upon your symptoms and 2decho findings.
If both are normal, then just yearly ct for aortic measurements.

Aortic bicuspid is fairly common in normal people. You may need regular followup, but usually its asymptomatic. Why were you prescribed adderall? Did your doctor know about your conditions? If your doctor knew, its fairly safe.
