So with that dx, why should they get in trouble?????I think alot of doctors use that for an excuse bec Debra V. The last time I was at the doctor, he started going into a long speech also, of how he could get in trouble for prescribing Percocet and the DEA will come to the office to investigate him..I don't think so....He gave me 40 pills, no refills, and the last time I had a percocet prescription was 3 yrs ago for shingles! I think its an excuse as well.. **************It's Tax Time! Get tips, forms and advice on AOL Money & Finance.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I get that from my new spine dr. they will only give out Vicodin. which is great, except when you are in need of stronger meds. they said to me " we don't do that here. " Well what the heck. If it is not working, then what? This is the exact reason people dr hop.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 My pain specialist recently told me that he can't rx pain meds for muscle pain because of the DEA. My back and knees are also destroyed and in a lot of pain....that's why I get pain meds. If the CDC catches up with fibro, maybe the DEA would accept pain meds for muscle pain.
