Your Dr. already is in some kind of a jam. Narcotics are scheduled drugs which means they are montored and there are many rules regarding prescribing them. There are so many people who are addicted or just like their narcs that they are always trying to get more. You seem to have a valid reason, so you may be better off if you can get your Dr. to refer you to a pain management group, also many alternative therapies are very effective and can provide dramatic decreases in your pain. Legally I don't think you have any recourse, You could always complain to the state board but I seriously doubt that will help. If you like your Dr. sit down and discuss this just as you are doing now. <br><b>References : </b><br>self Doctors face this situation daily. Your Dr. already is in some kind of a jam.
