Nice to hear you have a doctor that isn’t terrified to prescribe pain meds. You obviously have followed instructions and not abused. I was taking Vicodin 10/325 for 7 years as prescribed then decided to stop to gauge my pain level. I learned fairly quickly I did much better with the meds. I have since moved away from my rheumatologist and the local doctors will not prescribe because of my previous “chronic use of narcotics”. So, I just deal with it.

You should consider looking into buprenorphine for pain. It was developed to treat addiction but has been found to be a great pain reliever too. Find a doctor who's specialty is pain treatment. Read this for a better understanding and pain control. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4675640/
That's bs. It's part of your medication. Don't stop until you find a doctor that prescribes it. It's part of your medication just like bloos pressure. I'm surprised your rheumatologist prescribed. Good luck.

Keep looking for the right pain Dr. I see a doctor at a pain and rehabilitation center. I see him every 2 months. He'll do 2 scripts and when I need the 2nd one filled, I'll call. I had appt Monday that I moved from LAST Monday and I still had 10 days worth pills left. I had to pick up BP meds and told pharmacy that a script was coming in for the pain meds but not to fill it yet. I think they did anyway because I got an automated call from them but was on another call so I'm still not sure yet. Chronic pain requires constant meds. I do know that doctors must put the word chronic to get a months supply of meds. Just keep looking. They are out there. Good luck.
