Q: Are there doctors that will prescribe me pain killers for legit life long pain that I have?

I have legit chronic pain throughout my whole body. It concentrates in my lower back and hips, but I have constatn headaches also. I have been to every doctor imaginable. I have tired every over OTC there is, as well as Lyrica, and a host of other anti inflamatory medicines. Anyway, percocet is the only medication I have taken that alleviates a some of the pain. Are there other drugs that may be better? And are there doctors that will prescribe and regulate them?

your best bet is to get your Dr to refer you to a pain management Dr. They will evaluate you and find the best treatment for you. I had a hard time getting a good Dr to manage my pain until recently. A good pain Dr will work wonders
