I do think it is terrible that some dentists and doctors won't prescribe pain medications. When I had my gallbladder out, the doctor gave me darvocet, which isn't a very strong pain killer. It didn't help me at all, so I just went back to Motrin. My best friend's husband had a vasectomy on the same day, and he had a real good doctor, who actually prescribed him Percocet!
I would change dentists if I were you. I would leave a note explaining why when you pick up your records. And when you look for a new dentist, be sure to mention to the new one why you left your old one.
My dentist is really sneaky, or so she thinks! She'll write me a prescription for a "real strong pain killer" and it will be Naprosyn or 800mg Motrin! Like I'm going to pay $15 for a bottle of 30 Motrin Tablets when I can buy 1000 tablets for $8.99 at Sam's Club. I just toss the prescription out. I've got an appointment for a new dentist in two weeks, hopefully they will be a little less sneaky!
I do think that there should be a website for doctors where patients could leave them feedback, like on eBay. There are good doctors and bad doctors, and I'm not just talking about pain medicine prescriptions. It is very hard to find out much about a doctor before he takes your life into his hands. I know more about the people I buy from on eBay than I do about my doctor!
I think it is a terrible shame that doctor's are afraid to prescribe painkillers to people who have a legitimate need for them. It is terrible to suffer in pain because your doctor is afraid to prescribe something.
Patient2all, I know what you mean about the head pain. I have TMJ and dental problems, and there is nothing you can do to escape the pain. It hurts to talk, breathe, or even turn your head. Eating is almost impossible. I buy Slim Fast shakes by the case at Sam's club because half the time, I can't even chew without agony. The TMJ pain spreads over the entire jaw and up to the ear and eye too! Valium helps the TMJ because you don't grind and clench as much at night, but doctors don't even want to prescribe that very much either.
