I was in a car accident in 2004 and my back has been chronically hurting since then. It's not a constant everyday thing, but there are days that I am immobile from the pain. I've talked to several doctors in my area and I keep getting prescriptions that don't take away the pain. When I ask for something stronger, I get treated like an addict. I'm 28 so perhaps my age factors into this idea of theirs and it's easy to buy narcotic painkillers on the street where I live, but how can I make them see my legitimate need for pain relief?
