HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Chronic pain can be debilitating and disruptive to everyday activities.

If you currently rely on these medications to be able to perform your daily activities you can consider either asking your doctor for a referral to another physician or find a pain management specialist in your area.

Pain management doctors are more experienced in prescribing the medications that you need.

I hope this helps
