What is really going on - Pain clinics shutting down in FL? Hi, a family member of mine is under treatment for serious spine issues and is getting pain shots in the spine, which keep them able to walk (slowly) and reduce pain. We got a call this morning, that all appointments for shots are cancelled and that there is an order from the governor (DeSantis) to stop giving shots to the people in need. Stronger pain medication is very limited since this so called opioid crisis. This is a fucked up situation (Sorry my french)... I called other pain clinics, they are pretty much shutting down/limiting business, too. On the other hand my bike store informed me, that they are deemed essential and open. So help me out with some insight here. This is ridiculous.
