Dealing with Moderate Pain

My most pressing struggle has been the pain in my left leg. It began in mid-January and is constant except when I lay down. A tumor in my spine is pressing on some nerves that extend down my leg. The pain is worst when I walk any distance, or walk at all after sitting for a long period of time (such as at a poker game). My oncologist (Dr. Harris) doesn't specialize in pain management, so he referred me the Emory Pain Clinic. I tried some nerve medication, but it or the hydrocodone had no effect. In an outpatient procedure, a doctor injected my back with an anti-inflammatory and numbing cocktail, but it didn't do anything either. Since then, the staff at the Emory Pain Clinic wont even return my calls anymore.
My father-in-law David brought me his scooter. I used it recently on a weekend trip to Tunica for a poker tournament. It was a great help because there would be no chance I could walk from the hotel room to the poker room.
