Finding Difficulty To Get Oxycodone. Son Suffers From Pain Due To Metal Plates Fit In Knee And Hip. Recommendations?

having difficulty getting my oxycodone 30mg tablets filled at pharmacies in Columbus, GA. I receive it for pinched nerve in neck and shoulder. I have no insurance. My son was in a bad car accident in 2006 and has metal plates in hip and knee and stays in pain. He has no insurance either. I have been able to at times get mine without a problem.My son uses a different physician, Dr. Ritchea and the first words to you from pharmacy while standing there is who is the doctor. No one will fill this doctors pain medicine prescriptions but will fill for infections, arthritis, hypertension, etc. what are your recommendations?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Oxycodone is a prescription medicine and you need to consult his orthopedician for proper prescriptions. Till then he can use an over the counter pain killer like tynelol or Advil.
