I don't think living in the .... Capitol of the world helps my case any either.
Lots of places are going with the "everyone that wants painkillers is a drug seeker" rule.
Some will still give painkillers, but they give the lowest amount they can give. Like after my secondary root canal with the specialist(for the one that didn't get finished with the face paralysis visit) they prescribed me tylenol 3. I didn't even fill it because tylenol 3 has never helped any pain for me, so why bother.
This new way of doing things sucks for people that have issues with those low level painkillers not working for them. Like percocet and vicodin, they do absolutely nothing for pain for me, yet every doctor around here will only prescribe those. They make my brain a bit slow, but I'm still in just as much pain so I don't take them. You can tell your doctors they don't work for you and they just assume you're trying to get high. I went
through my tonsillectomy recovery with no painkillers. And I took muscles relaxers during my leg injury because that at least stopped some of the muscles spasms in my leg that made my pain worse, but no painkillers for that either.
