Dr. Ammon Hills quite literally saved my life. No exaggeration...I would not be typing this had he not been there.

[@DollSisterStories]

Thanks Tim! I'm excited to share your story!

[@swood07413]

Hey Dr. Hills thanks for this! I'm actually considering a pain management fellowship myself, and just getting the "a day in the life" exposure was helpful. Thanks for all you do!

[@player4life203]

I’m in slc my orthopedic was so rude and mean he thought just because I was 21 that means I’m not in pain and I was referred to him after a year from suffering from chronic pain and going in and out of the ER. You seem super nice wish there’s more doctors like him!

[@yagomorales573]

Thank you for the vid, it helped a lot

[@mhenderson3407]

Great video and Great Doctor! Blessings to you, Sir!

[@saldevita3368]

A great job in providing a guided tour of your workplace!

[@edenleave2054]

This is so awesome I want this specialty

[@sisayhibstu586]

You look happy,that is great 👍

[@bluewaves2539]

I had a work related injury in my hip 10 years ago and a pain management doc really helped alleviated the pain via injection and advising on some exercises. I came in his office barely getting out of the car and afterwards being able to again. Thanks for what you do!

[@andrewcastro7367]

God Bless you

[@edwinshumaker5849]

I noticed the DO on the name plate. How often do you use OMT for tx? Also, is anesthesiology the only/main specialty to be considered for Pain Management Fellowship? thanks

[@joellabrie-ki9bk]

What kinda treatment would you do for a Arachnoiditis?

[@patrickpetrowsky8136]

How do you treat multisystemic sarcoidosis?

[@shannonmorrison7455]

Seeing Dr. Hill I'm suddenly in alot of pain lmao

[@AhteshamMVs]

how much can one make in a year ? and what about the patient population, i hear they are difficult.

[@Rae-yv7md]

Injections for pain very lucrative indeed but their effectiveness is doubtful to say the least. Tell me what are your opinions regarding the use of opiods to ease suffering caused by severe pain? After all opiods seemed to have worked well for hundreds of years.

[@SCUGunz]

can u help me with the pain in my heart after all my friends dumped me?

[@HeyItsLonewolf]

Do you do any OMM?

[@khaliyahdavis4777]

Hey! I just want ask you mr. Hill, what type of doctor so you specialize under exactly? Like are you a PM&R, immunologist, Family medicine? Also, do you get called in a lot? I am asking because I also want to be a doctor

[@dallaschrystian8651]

Anesthesiology.

[@zacharycarter9887]

Fuck injections they dont work ive had alot just rather take pain meds help me the most and nice office wish we had a pain doctor like you here in rhode island

[@humility1st]

Look up Claudia Merandi in Rhode island.She advocates for pain patients and is on youtube twitter facebook etc. I am sorry you are dealing with this I am too.

[@bhavikpatel8730]

how tough is it to obtain a pain medicine fellowship from family medicine?

[@harveypraz7962]

You can’t. You need physiatry, neurology or anaesthesiology residency to be eligible to do a pain management fellowship.

[@livelife2324]

What is the specialty you need to do for this?

[@harveypraz7962]

You need a physiatry, neurology or anaesthesiology residency to be eligible for pain management fellowship.

[@charlesbrewer3362]

I never see any 1 using the Thyroid shield

[@pappudeb]

Does Anesthesia pain docs get to do everything you do as a Pm&R pain doc? Are there any difference in terms of scope of practice?

[@zainsatti4961]

They’re identical. Anesthesiologists just have an easier time matching Bc pain fellowship departments are usually affiliated with a anesthesiology dept

[@Muskiehunter4841]

PMR is initially better at physical exam and anesthesiologists initially are better at procedures. Over time, what make s a good pain doc is that they care and strive to continue to learn better treatments.

[@sselluoss5935]

I'm in constant chronic pain from broken metal and shrapnel stuck in my spine. Was on opioids for 14 years and always used them as directed and my life was normal..since this opioid epidemic bs my doctor literally just took my meds away and no doctor will write a script for them anymore...I'm being punished for the actions of criminals. Everyday is a god damn struggle and I can't even get out of bed for more than 2 hours without having to lie down because I'm in agony. It's to the point I'm ready to die and I'm only 30...I've never spoken of my situation but felt the need to randomly vent. Everyday is nothing but 10/10 physical pain. I've spent 3 years searching for any alternative to help and am not lying when I say I've tried every over the counter medicine or eastern medicine there is with no luck. The only thing that dulled my pain and made my life normal was fentanyl...but again, because of people abusing it illegally now nobody can get it..even legitimate pain patients who got it from a doctor and never once abused it. I'm at my wits end and have no idea what to do..all I know is I can't keep living in this constant pain.

[@jeanconneely3602]

I whole heartedly feel for you. This situation is way out of hand. I just 4 days ago went thru a sizable cut, 3cm down and 4 and half inches acrossed. To remove precancerous mole. I'm still in horrific pain. Crying constantly. Leaving numerous messages to my Dr. With not even a response back. What dear god, are we the people that don't or ever even abused a drug in our life?!! This is terrible, and I would definitely say a crisis for many in ours and many others in different medical situations. It's not even conducive or helpful to our healing. And I will add medically ethical!!

[@olivier-pierredebelmont.3630]

Hey Man I totally agree with you,because I mysef suffer from neuropathy pain,nearly bedridden,but I am 68,not 30!so i wish you to gather enough courage and all forces to cope with your terrible ordeal. Now,there is possibilities to get fentanyl patches in other countries,or through the net. You can't let yourself like this.Willpower is necessary for you to obtain fentanyl in a relatively short time . Do your best,and you will succeed in your quest for relief . Let me know in a while if you found a "source" for your medication,I wish you success!😊

[@greg9069]

How are you doing now? I have a pretty fucked spine and some failed surgery on said spine, general practitioners are better if you need opioid treatment, most pain management facilities are too tight about it, which is like the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen..

[@sselluoss5935]

@@greg9069 still constantly hurting and still using legal less effective things like kratom,cannabis,and alcohol. I was in pain management on opioids with 0 issues for ten years. Never abused them and so on. Then this crackdown happened and no doctor will write them.. it sucks. I supposedly live in the best country in the world and my medical care is crap

[@olivier-pierredebelmont.3630]

@@greg9069 Hi greg,i just saw that these comments were years old,only yours was 45 minutes ago! It seems that is difficult to get pain medecine,especially in usa. I am suffering with right leg paralysis,following a gangrene treatement which kill my sciatic nerves and adding to that,neuropathy,diverse addiction to opiates and opioïds,and at 69,it seems that the pain is harder to manage... I cold turkey 43 days ago for all my addictions,I am NOT out yet,and ,of course,my pains are back full throttle!!! Fu*king hard life,if I you agree with me,but we are WARRIORS!and still there! What do you think?

[@kathyhayward2228]

Why doesn't my clinic have this 😢

[@Sarah-gw2tk]

Can family medicine doctors get into pain fellowship?

[@harveypraz7962]

Nope, you need a physiatry, neurology or anaesthesiology residency to be eligible for pain management fellowship.

[@blazingimpact1]

@@harveypraz7962 Untrue. There is opportunity for family medicine physicians to go into a pain management fellowship. However it is a more uphill battle for FM. Please do your research before sharing misinformation. Sincerely a CA-1

[@brandywood8591]

I hope this pain management clinic doesn’t give people that gabapentin it’s straight poison. You won’t know until months later of the deadly side effects.

[@brandywood8591]

All that crap is poison. You guys are given to these people. If you won’t take it yourself, don’t give it to nobody else.

[@nightowl6260]

Would it be more accurate to describe your work as a "pain interventionist"? When the intervention is not successful, there is not help with pain medication.

[@Rae-yv7md]

Extremely accurate

[@Jilla0559]

I’m concerned that in my area SO much of pain management follow up is being done by PA - they really do no seem to under stand pain issues

[@Arthur-hg7ny]

A DO not an MD

[@threehorsesxxx5759]

I have have had many abdominal surgeries I have a colostomy vistula can not where a colostomy bag; excuse of a crease that goes through the area of the colostomy. I will not survive another surgery because my wbcc is 1.5 this what my surgeon told me and it is true i do very well taking methadone for pain and the pain of acid i must clean up.multiple times in 24 hours lam in cirrhosis Stage3 cirrhosis will live for years if I can take about 40 mg of a day I get severe tachycardia withdrawing from methadone even taking morphine and other opoids. No way will I survive another doctor that try's to take me off methadone. In 1980 I was crushed and had a colostomy for 3 years. I know great deal about colostomy I have been resection 6 times for I don't have constipation. But thats because my colostomy starts about a foot into my coline I am sick of the games some pm.dr play I have good pain control and my body is physical dependent on methadone I don't suffer depression nor anxiety. I have no desire to Die I have faimly support I live in a house that needs work but is comfortable. I Don't need saving but am a Christian. Why do some doctors act like jerk and rather use up my precious time I have left to live just to try to get me off methadone

[@humility1st]

Big hugs and love you are exactly right. I can't even get any pain meds and i am not going to suddenly get young and healthy. It is all fine and good if I am 16 yeah teach me how to be an adult but in my 60's treat me with respect and give me the pain meds. I deserve them. Take Care

[@arnoldcrawford6698]

@@humility1st I totally agree with both of you I too have been on methadone and 30 mg oxi's for more time than less and I'm 60 yrs old And getting a bunch of bull from the doctors in this new community I moved into and I used to drive 140 miles at a time to get my scrips, but that doc. retired and now I"m well screwed as everyone who"s been here knows how it goes

[@olivier-pierredebelmont.3630]

The serment of hypocrates is clear:prima non suffere. First don't cause suffering. These doctors who suppress your medecine are criminals,I hope that a wealthy guy will put them in front of justice theze doctors are criminals.
