Hello. I just relocated to a new city. I have been cared for by pain management doctor for several years. They set me up with refills of my pain medications until I find a new doctor. The new law that went into effect on 10/6 nullified my refills. what is the best approach with my new doctor to rewrite my scrips. I know most don t want to so I am concerned. I can t function without them. It s sad
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Most of the pain medicines are prescription drugs and you have to consult a physician before starting new pain medicines.You can seek help from a local GP to get prescription. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
