I'd find another pain management doctor. Get your primary care physician to refer you. I have been under care of pain management for over 20 years. I was on hydrocodone 10/325. When I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer in February he changed me to oxycodone which did NOTHING for the pain. Last visit I asked to go back to the hydrocodone and he was going to increase the number of pills from 120 to 180 but the pharmacist wasn't comfortable dispensing that many pills. She recommended he prescribe extended release morphine instead and he did. My pills still work after taking them for this long. In fact, I have 10-15 or more sometimes left at end of month. Go online or call and research the pain management doctors in network with your insurance and read reviews then ask your primary to refer you to that doctor. It's awful when pain keeps you from doing things. I had to go out on disability at 63 from a hairstylist business I owned for over 20 years. I was approved in 4 months and on the first try. I wish you luck.
