Well, I was involved in a fairly severe car accident on Tuesday evening. I went right to the ER were they gave me a shot of demerol/visteril and then took x-rays of my spine and neck. While the pain shot did help, it wore off fairly quickly. The ER doc said "Well, there are no breaks but you could have some severe muscle tear, atrophy. Here are 10 5mg Vicodins and some Robaxin."

WTF? 10 freaking pain pills. They were gone in two days and now I am severe agony. I have missed work since ( I am a waiter so I have to be extremely mobile and life rather heavy trays). My question: what do I do? I really cannot afford a $110 consult and $90 worth of meds. I am seeing my GP today so would it be wise to bring this up and ask for a pain specialist? Any help would help thanks folks you've been a godsend sice I joined this board a couple years back.
Peace.
