What about a pain management doc to deal with my addiction?

Addiction to what?

Hmmm, that's a good question. I know that these doctors are usually pretty strick about what pain medications they prescribe. I was taking MSContin when I went to a pain mgmt. doctor and one of the first things he did was wean me off of it by prescribing lower and lower doses until I was completely off of it. But I never got a euphoric or "high" feeling from it as it was time released and I took it as prescribed. He just did the tapering off as a precaution so that I wouldn't have problems.
Your best bet would be to start calling around and just ask if this is something that a pain mgmt. doctor would be able to help you with and if not, what kind of doctor would be the very best to help you.
Good luck and I hope you succeed. Stay motivated and stay strong:)

Pain management doctors do not deal with addiction issue. You'd need an addictionalogist for this. If you want to be weaned of narcotics you could find a doctor that works with suboxone or some other replacement therapy.
