Suggest Pain Medication After Car Accident

I was in a car accident in January 2014. I have been doing trigger point injections as well as being prescribed pain medication. My doctor left the practice and the new doctor is refusing to refill my prescription that will be due next week. My prior doctor advised that we would start to lower my dosage before she immediately stopped my dose. Is that legal

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I think you are mentioning here about steroid medications which needs to be reduced slowly before tapering.so you please take your old prescription and show it to the doctor who will then prescribe the medication if there are appropriate to your condition.Otherwise you don't have to worry about the old medications if doctor says it's not needed.

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