Are there any doctors that will perscribe pain meds for me in XXXXXXX .
Brief Answer:
Please mention which type of arthritis you have .
Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that you need to tell which type of arthritis you have because if you have osteoarthritis then plain analgesics will suffice but in case you suffer from inflammatory arthritis then antiinflammatories will be required . If you have osteoarthritis which is a likely possibilty then you will benefit by paracetamol which you can get over the counter in most of the countries as doctors are very reluctant in prescribing other drugs in your age because of side effects .
Take care.
