@lotsofpain I did get prescribed Norco. My doctor said he could only do 14 pills for. 7 days, with no refills. He advised me to just take one st bedtime. That way I could have them for 14 days to sleep. Anyone else get such a restricted prescription? It is not like I ask for pain meds all the time. My pain level is high and it may be 2-3 weeks before I hear from PT! He said he was following the law. He said people get addicted after 7 days.

My belief is that many doctors are concerned about protecting their bowl of food. The opioid climate is so volatile right now that its a rare doctor that will do what the patient needs - rather than act in fear of losing his position or beinf lectured by a supervisor. I'm sorry about your experience.
