You are taking all prescription medicines and you need valid legal prescription to purchase the same as online prescription is not valid. But yes you can get some help regarding your doubts about drugs from here.I am psychiatrist and I frequently answer questions related to psychopathology.

Would a pain management specialist help with not only my pain issues but also with my psychiatry/therapy issues or would I need to see separate doctors?

Answered by Dr. Chintan Solanki (16 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
depends on origin of pain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for follow up.

Pain management specialist can help in pain clearly physical in origin. In this exact cause and mechanism of pain are found out and treated.
Psychiatrist can help in pain somatic in origin.In this no clear established physical problem associated with pain is found out though all investigations are done. This pain is psychological in origin.

Pain specialist probably cannot help in psychiatry/therapy issues while psychiatrist can.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
