Hello, Daise! How are you?

Due to the new regulations that were put in place last year, if you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis, you'll need to see a pain management specialist.

Do you currently have a PCP that might be able to refer you to someone? If so, that will most likely be the quickest and easiest way to find the help you need.

I also want to caution you about asking a doctor for specific medications, up front. They are taught to view that as being drug seeking behavior and most won't even let you get in the door for an appointment. You'll need to make sure that the doctor gets a copy of your current medical records, go to an appointment and then discuss your treatment options. Once they can see what has and hasn't worked for you in the past as documented by fellow physicians, they will be more prone to prescribe according.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Can anyone recommend a good doctor in that area?
