Kicked Out Of Pain Clinic
UpdatedI just started going to pain management, and I have been taking 1 every 5 hours, and now they want a pill count, and I am short. I explained to the doctor that my orthopedic was doing what he could, but I was still having pain. He gave me the same amount that my orthopedic was giving me after I told him it wasn't enough, and he made me appointment 18 days later from my first appointment. Is the doctor just trying to see if that same amount is working or am I just going to get kicked out. I am really in a panic, because of my injury will never get better.

It is hard to say, since I don't know the specifics of your pain management contract. Do they specify that you are not allowed to run out early? Most of them do. If you are in more pain than your medication can handle, you are expected to call them and let them handle the matter, as appropriate.
The FDA warns that most of these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.
What has happened? Are you on any other medications?
