If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patient's description.

### input:
How can I find a competent pain management doctor in Washington State? I was a professional water skier aka professional fool at ABC Marine World/ Africa U.S.A in Calif. I obtained a spinal cord injury. My husband retired and we moved to Washington state, Since moving to our Dream Retirement property I have been unable to find a pain Doctor. My Pain Dr.s neurosurgeons had told us this was the Meca of Pain Management . I have been forced to be almost totally bedridden or in our hot tub due to the fact that Washington State has some new laws on pain meds. Sitting in a hot tub for 4-6 hours a day is not much of a life, I am unable to walk without forearm crutches. I am fused from L2 to the sacrum anterior and posterior with screw Instrumentation (Harrington rods). I was hospitalized due to naseau which would last up to 16 hours at a time. While I was hospitalized the Doctors at the hospital NOT ME set up an appointment for me to be seen by a general practishioner which Washington State requires. I went to the appointment as scheduled then all hell broke loose. I was discharged from the general practicioner because I was seen by another Doctor. Total shock to me since I was only doing was the Hospital had set up. I did NOT request pain meds, but the doctor wrote me a for Norco at the rate of 4 day. since in Calif. my pain management doctors had me on 9 a day (I understand about the Tylenol) I had a DEFECTIVE Medtronic Pain pump which stuck out of my stomach like a tuna can. I am considering it again as well as a spinal cord stimulator.

### output:

Your situation seems to be complex. From what I understand, because you had obtained a narcotics prescription from another physician, your GP may have considered this as a violation of the narcotics contract and that's why discharged you. I would recommend finding a new GP, and when you see him/her explain the situation up front. He/She can then refer you to a pain specialist since it looks like you will need close follow up and advanced treatment
