Suggest Treatment For Relief From Osteoarthritis Pain
Yes, why in the world do pharmacies give people like me a hard time about filling 15 mg. oxycodone prescriptions from the doctor. I do not abuse drugs, doctors or pharmacies and I am being told constantly that they are out or they haven t received their shipment and in general treated like I am some sort of dope addict because I have osteoarthritis and find it hard if not impossible to function without some type of pain medication. Moreover, who determined that pharmacies were to now be the police of drugs and determine who should and who should not have their prescription filled. Is is illegal for them to deny you and drug which is legally prescribed for you?
Mostly osteoarthritis is helped considerably by anti-inflammatories. Pharmacies are regularly put out of business if prescribing opiates. 15 mg 3x a day is more than the usual amt. Cannot say in your particular case and the standard would be physical therapy and aspirin like drugs.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
