Suggest Medication For Severe Chronic Pain
I suffer from severe chronic pain and have been prescribed hydrocodone since I was 22, I am now 52. Less than a year ago my doctor of twelve years sent me a letter telling me he would no longer prescribe narcotics and was also declining from being my PCP. I was shocked and hurt. Confused. I called and asked why and was never given a reason, even when I went to administration and risk management. I am now in foreclosure of my ranch as I can not function and perform my chores involved for me to make my living. Any speculations you may have would be appreciated.
