Join the Doctor Patient Forum on the internet for lots of information. Do a search to find it. They are trying to help.
The government is to blame…CDC, DEA, etc. Doctors are afraid of losing their licenses to practice if they prescribe opioids for chronic pain because of the government.

Rainbow, that is a great idea. Not trying to be lazy here, but if you could possibly put up the link I think we would get more traction on this.
Thx, R.

It is my understanding is that there is, perhaps 2, certification requirements a doctor must obtain to prescribe opioids. My doctor prescribes opioids under a signed agreement I have with him. It is also my understanding that the hospital does not have restrictions on prescribing opioids. This may be a reason why my doctor prescribes the medication (besides having requisite certs, because he is on the hospital staff. So, maybe see if you can locate a doctor who works in a main hospital clinic and is certified to prescribe opioids.
