I know you are all bored of this by now, but:

1)I initiated a venture with a US OP on THursday, to get adequate meds for my chronic baack pain and insomnia.
2)I went to the gym and ignorantly (as a one time only thing) tried to max out on the leg press machine. In doing so, I injured a brand new part of my back.
3)Friday I did not manage to get through to the OP doc for a consult. My pain was inching it's way up to a ten, despite methocarbomal, soma, 800mgs ibuprohen and 440 naproxen (taken over a few hours)
$)Went to the ER at 10. Told them of chronic condition, usual meds, and underscored that this was an INJURY. No pain relievers given, only released at 1am with a script for 5mg vicodens: take 1-2 every 4-6 hours. A 16 hour supply to last the entire weekend.
5)Returned the next day because, duh, the script was inadequate. Virtually no doctor contact, no diagnostics other than an x-ray (yeah, that'll detect a slipped disk), treated like total Best if kept off the board and belittled for not taking total bedrest. Offered methocarbamol and refused because it was not a muscle problem. Released with a script for methocarbamol even though I told them I had a bottle at home with 5 refills. Refused script.
6) Doctor would not write a script for pain meds to last unril I could see real doc, which would be at LEAST 2 days later. Would not write me a note that I needed to be on best rest, "I'll write a note that you were in the ER today", because I "don't have a problem."

So, when I got home last night I left a message on my back doctor's machine explaining my injury and asking for him to call or possibly schedule an appt, refer for anew MRI, whatever, ASAP. (His schedule is full and I don't have my next appt till June)

I am also going to try to see the referring (to back specialist) doc, who had been treating my back pain for a year or so before her started referring me out. He can order an MRI himself and might prescribe me something, though it will surely be a small amount. That would be easier (and cheaper) than seeing the back specialist and I presume that after my OP consult I won't have to worry about getting getting adequate pain meds anymore.

Okay, so here's my question:

If I get my OP consult tommorow and get prescribed,
but then also see my regular doc later to get an MRI referral and (If I'm lucky) 10 little vicodins or something, am I double dipping?

And then what will happen when I see the back doc and he realizes that we have a whole new ballgame to deal with? (We've been treating lumbar so far) If he gives me a script, esp for something stronger than at the OP, do I tell him I have leftoever pain meds from surgery/injury/heartbreak awhile back and refuse the script and ask if I can pick it up later when those meds run out? Or is it feasible that a patient might be prescribed one controlled med, then be prescribed another that works better for her and be in possesssion of both at once and that would be legit?

Help me out, folks, please!
