In reply to How do I get Dr to prescribe pain med, posted by Dona on September 22, 2001, at 11:56:39
Dona-
Addictive drugs like oxycontin are prescribed on a temporary basis only for severe pain after an injury or surgery, unless you are suffering from a terminal disease or you are Elvis. I would suggest that you see an orthopedic surgeon, who can give you arthritis medicine. If your arthritis is severe, you may need a knee replacement to stop the pain.
