talking about pain meds with doctor?

[Jen]

I am soooo nervous for an appointment I have with my provider tomarrow. A little back ground: I have had chronic pain for 4 years from fibromyalgia, and hyper mobile joints that have cause terrible sciatica pain in my right leg, along with constant joint and muscle pain. I am already taking one of the meds for fibromyalgia and still have pain. I want to ask him if he will consider a trial of pain medication for my pain. I am sooo nervous though that he will get defensive and stop listening to what I am saying! I really want it to go well and get the help and relief I'm desperate for, but don't want him to think I am drug seeking, or trying to take the easy way out of my illness. Any advice out there?
