I have been in pain for many years and I can tell you from experience that

doctors in my area do not prescribe narcotics quickly. Because of the

rampant drug abuse in this area doctors are afraid that if they prescribe

narcotics they will find their way onto the streets.

My Doctor had me sign a contract that I would only have him prescribe my

meds and use only 1 pharmacy. If I break this contract, he will stop my

medications. I have found out from other groups that a

lot of doctors are doing this now.

Yes, my doctor has me sign the same contract about pain medication. And the

doctors that I have had have been VERY cautious about pain medications,

too. Although since RSD pain is considered severe, it usually doesn't fall

into the ' do we, or don't we? treat with medicine category. I am just

grateful that I am still on a relatively low dose for having RSD for over 13

years.
