I "feel your Pain",as someone use to say.I also see it from the Doc's side.I do agree that they are constantly battling "Pill-Seekers,Dr.Shoppers,Junkies"(even rich,bored,house-wives),trying nearly anything, in order to weedle or con them for"AWWW,C'mon Doc, just 1 refill!" on some Class Drug.They are under a lot of pressure from the DEA, who seem to hound Dr.,s more than the Street Pushers (whom they SHOULD be after).It is their duty to help Patients to be comforted,for any valid reason that they are seeing them about, especially Pain,Chronic,non-stop,aching,burning,throbbing,it's ALL BAD!I have heard of too many times when folks were not given Pain Pills when they really needed them. A true-to-Form,Honest,Caring Medical Pro will NOT be intimidated,nor swayed by DEA Watch-Dogs, so to deny people that are suffering,adequate relief-no matter how strong or what "Class" the drug is in.They are known in C.P.circles as "The Good Doctors". They are out there. If you just do a search for "Physicians who practice Pain Medicine in the (your area)".Go from there,starting with checking their Web-Site or calling them up.Ask questions,it's your right,as you said.Try this.It will work.Festus
