Grizzlypaw;

that is true, but we with chrinic pain conditions still need medical care, and Its worth a try. I am not stopping until I find a doctor who will provide me with the right amount and type of medications that I need. If thats doctor shopping, then so be it, but we have a right to be pain free. I can't afford Op's all the time, but I do need pain meds all of the time. So for those of us who have doctors, I wonder if they knew what lenghts we had to go to get medication, and how well it works for us-they might change their minds about holding back narcotics. Granted, if some knew, they would blacklist us for life. But others might finally see that we are desparate enough to resort to paying 100's of dollars for meds that are worth 1/4 that. If they see that, then they might reconsider what they are putting us through. IF only my doctor could talk to my online physician. I wonder what would happen...something to think about.
