T -- where are you located? Hon, you need a new doctor, and quick. If
you're having lactation, you could see and endocrinologist. I have found
one who is an endo specialist, and a reproductive specialist. My obgyn
prescribes me basically any pain med I request. I've never had to fight for
meds. My PCP, years before the endo diagnosis, routinely wrote percocet
scripts for a chronic back condition that I suffer from. To be expected to
live with pain is unacceptable, and there are doctors out there who think
so, too. Please find a new doctor. If you'll let the list know where you
are, I'm sure someone can make a recommendation for you.
((((HUGS))))
