Can Painkillers Be Prescribed For Club Feet?

so.. im 20 years old I was born with club feet (they were like candy canes pointed in towards each other). I had reconstructive bone surgery at 9 months old, so here s the short story: i have about $5000 dollars worth of debt.. After 4 hours of standing my feet start to hurt very bad 10/10 on the pain scale and it last for days. My doctor will not prescribe me pain killers for some odd reason. I can t find an office job, or a job were i don t need to stand. I am becoming very depressed, and I don t know what to do anymore. I ve dug my self into such a deep hole, and I can t get out(credit card, school loans, doctor bills, work needed on my vehicle, etc). I need some advice, and I need it now. Why wont my doctor prescribe me painkillers so I can work 8-10 hour days like a normal human-being.. I m on the verge of giving up, I can t take this bullshit any longer... My family has always been here for me, but we just don t know what to do. Please someone get back to me ASAP!

Hello,

Long term use of painkillers are not recommended because of dependency. You can also try opiod analgesics after consulting a pain physician.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
