I had tumor removed inside spinal cord pressing brain stem lots of pain Lside face, now bad odor from L ear?

Question

The pain I am having is below bad ear, left side, into jaw, face and neck. 3 years now. I've shown swelling to doctors at VA, no real response, they think I am just a drug seeking patient. But the odor is bad, along with drainage. (they can't say I'm faking that) It took 2 years to convience them I was having headaches, I was accused of faking to get drugs, then they found tumor, told I could become paralized any moment. Still in files that I am drug seeking, have written many letters to get changed, to no avail. But that's the VA, if you need pain med, your just faking to get drugs. Everyone is treated that way. When they are proved wrong, won't admit mistake, won't prescribe badly needed drugs. So many of us Vets suffer, because DEA with no degree in Med or Pharm, tell doctors what thay can prescribe. We can get shot, but we can't get med for pain.
