i don't know the details of your case. why you have been on narcotics for a long time. but perhaps it is time for you to see a new pain specialist.
my current doctor refused to continue my narcotic pain medication because i can not afford physical therapy self pay. i'm self pay no insurance. my current pain doctor recommended physical therapy i explained that i couldn't afford therapy my next appointment. i wasn't even seen by my doctor. instead by someone i've never met telling me he is withholding my medication until i pay and complete 8 weeks of physical therapy. no payment plans or options were evn offered to me. i left and called back and requested a discharge letter. i haven't received a discharge letter or even a return call. what should i do?
