Hello, Thomas! How are you?
I'm sorry, but there is no listing of doctors according to what they will or will not prescribe that I can refer to for you. Additionally, if you start contacting doctors ahead of time, to ask them about prescribing medications, they are going to assume you're a drug seeker and most won't even let you get in the door for an appointment.
You'll actually need to set up an appointment with a new doctor, make sure they get a full copy of your medical records and then discuss your treatment options. Additionally, if the pain medications are for things unrelated to your arthritis, you'll need to see a pain management specialist. A rheumatologist won't be able to prescribe pain medications for other conditions.
Can anyone suggest a good doctor there?
