Re: Is under-treatment of pain basis for malpracti

Just because you have documents proving your pain does not mean the doctor is in any way obligated to give you anything at all other than a bill. (S)he will treat you as they see fit.

The only way you'd have a case if you could actually prove the doctor put you in pain (i.e. surgery without adequate anesthesia, knowingly gave you medicine that would intentionally cause pain, etc.).

Just because a lawyer is willing to take a case does not mean you have a case at all!

There is no law specifying that you are entitled to narcotics for pain relief, unfortunately.

This is just a tip, but if you're not getting the relief your sense of entitlement tells you you're worthy of, then maybe you need to work on your approach...
